Can't resolve typescript class from typings file of imported module but works with absolute path










0















have two node projects as X,Y. X has a typescript class calculator.ts and its exported in index.ts and X's package json has property of typings as below.



"typings": "dist/src/index.d.ts"


node project Y imports calculator as below






import Calculator from 'X';





but it throws error




internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:583
throw err;
^



Error: Cannot find module 'X'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:581:15)




it works when its imported from absolute path.






import Calculator from 'X/dist/src/calculator';

  • Where is the .js file for index.ts located? dist/src/index.js? If so, the main field of X's package.json needs to specify that path in order for import ... from 'X' to find the module at runtime.

main field of X's package.json should point to the dist/src/index.js to resolve exported classes at run time.
