'React unable to import component -- module not found

I just started with React.js and I am unable to import component.

I have this structure as followed by this tutorial (YouTube link) :

-- src
----| index.html
----| app
------| index.js
------| components
--------| MyCompontent.js

This is my index.js:

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';

import { MyCompontent } from "./components/MyCompontent";

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
              <h1>Foo</h1>
              <MyCompontent/>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

render(<App />, window.document.getElementById('app'));

This is MyComponent.js:

import React from "react";

export class MyCompontent extends React.Component {
  render(){
    return(
      <div>MyCompontent</div>
    );
  }
}

I am using this webpack file (GitHub link).

However, when I run this, my module fails to load.

I get this error in the browser console:

Error: Cannot find module "./components/MyCompontent"

Can't figure out what went wrong here.

Solution 1:^[1]

You have a typo in your import. You're requesting MyCompontent. Change to:

import MyComponent from "./components/MyComponent";

And all typos as well.

Solution 2:^[2]

For anyone coming here without a typo, and is using Webpack, be sure to check for a clause like this:

resolve: {
    extensions: [".jsx", ".js"]
},

in your webpack.config.js.

This tells your transpiler to resolve statements like:

import Setup from './components/Setup'

import Setup from './components/Setup.jsx'

This way you don't need the extension.

Solution 3:^[3]

You can try to import MyCompontent from "./components/MyCompontent.js"

like this

import MyCompontent from "./components/MyCompontent.js";

Solution 4:^[4]

You have written that the filename is MyComponent.js.

Thus, your import should look like

import { MyCompontent } from './components/MyComponent.js'

Solution 5:^[5]

The problem for me was that import line was not generated correctly. I have this scenario:

--src
----elements
-----myCustomText.tsx

this is myCustomText.tsx file:

export interface Props {
  text: string;
}

const MyCustomText = ({ text }: Props) => (
  <Text>{text}</Text>
);

export default MyCustomText

And the generated import was this:

import MyCustomText from '../../elements/MyCustomText';

and I changed it to this:

import MyCustomText from '../../elements/myCustomText'

I don't know why the generated import line was generated automatically wrong.

Solution 6:^[6]

I found myself here without a typo and without a webpack issue.

The solution for me was to restart the typescript server via VS Code.

Solution 7:^[7]

I just had this issue, no type or webpack config issues.

What fixed it was changing the import from relative to the app root directory to relative to the file:

import MyComponent from "src/components/MyComponent";

import MyComponent from "../components/MyComponent";

If you're getting this from Visual Studio Code auto-importing via the shortest route, you can change it so it imports relatively. By going here:

menu File ? Preferences ? Settings ? User Settings,

"typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier": "relative"
