Description

Can’t import js file in parent folder

Reproduction

import {ReactNativeCron} from ‘…/ReactNativeCron’ gives error: Directory /Users/nikos/WebstormProjects/react-native-cron/ReactNativeCron doesn't exist

If I move the file to ./ReactNativeCron it works

• React Native version: “react-native”: “0.40.0”

• Platform: iOS

• Operating System:MacOS

@hnryjms and I ran in to this as well. It is an issue for us because our react-native app is a subdirectory of our repo that contains a web app and server code. We have a lib directory that contains useful JS code for all projects, and would like to be able to use it everywhere. We could make the lib directory a local NPM module and install it into both projects, but that makes local development somewhat annoying.

The solution we found was to add the file called rn-cli.config.js at the Mobile app’s root which is the default file the react-native packager looks at for specifying run configurations.

const Path = require('path');

module.exports = {
    getProjectRoots: () => [ __dirname, Path.join(__dirname, "..") ]
};
