I have such project structure:
- MyApp
`- firstFolder
`- firstFile.js
`- secondFolder
`- thirdFolder
`- thirdFile.js
How can I import firstFile.js
from thirdFile.js
?
Something like import myFunc from '../firstFolder/firstFile';
in thirdFile.js
, doesn't work.
There are multiple pathing options, I'll describe a couple below.
MyApp
├── firstFolder
│ └── firstFile.js
└── secondFolder
└── thirdFolder
└── thirdFile.js
Here we will import
the firstFile
from our thirdFile
.
../
will go back 1 folder, this is why we go back two folders:
import myFunc from '../../firstFolder/firstFile'
So ..
takes us back to secondFolder
then we need to go back one more folder ..
into the MyApp
folder. Now we can traverse forward into firstFolder
then point to firstFile
.
or ./
- this is the present working directory (pwd), which will be thirdFolder
from here we will need to go back 2 directories or ../..
import myFunc from './../../firstFolder/firstFile'
Since you didn't specify the full paths these are incomplete
/
- will start at the root directory of the Operating System
import myFunc from '/fullPathtoProject/MyApp/firstFolder/firstFile'
~/
this is the current users home directory
import myFunc from '~/pathFromHomeDirectory/MyApp/firstFolder/firstFile'
