A guide on incorporating a component from a nested directory with webpack

https://i.sstatic.net/kLB0S.png

The directory structure above shows how my react app 'MyProject' is organized.

Using this structure, I successfully utilize the Layout component in Main.jsx (located at src/Main.jsx) by :

import Layout from './layout' (the layout folder contains an index.js file that exports the Layout component by default)

Additionally, I am able to use the Content component in ErrorBoundary.js (located at src/ErrorBoundary.js) by:

import Content from '../../layout/content/Content'
(the content folder has an index.js file inside it that exports the Content component by default)

However, when attempting to run webpack, I encounter the following errors:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './layout/content/Content' in '/home/user/myProject/src'

// Errors related to alias configurations and path resolutions

I tried using aliases as per the webpack documentation, but no success:

alias: {
      Layout: path.resolve(__dirname, "/src/layout/Layout"),
      Content: path.resolve(__dirname, "/src/layout/content/Content")
    }

This is my current webpack configuration:


// Webpack config details...

Am I correctly implementing aliases or is there another approach to resolving this error?

Further information on utilizing aliases can be found in a table under resolve.alias in the webpack documentation, but I'm unsure how to apply it to my specific situation.

Answer №1

After some troubleshooting, I discovered that by simply changing the names of the folders from layout and content to layoutContainer and contentContainer, the issue was resolved. It appears there may be an issue (possibly a bug in webpack) when there is a match between import name and file name. Hopefully this tip can prevent others from spending countless hours debugging and researching.

If anyone has an explanation for this behavior, please feel free to share. Thank you.
