Question

I'm following this medium article to use FloatingTitleTextInputField in my react-native project

below is my project structure

Here is my code for HomeScreen.js

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {Text, View, TextInput, StyleSheet} from 'react-native';
import FloatingTitleTextInputField from './customComponents/floating_title_text_input_field';



export default class HomeScreen extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      // <View style={{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'}}>
      //   <Text>My First React App</Text>
      //   <TextInput style={{height: 40, borderColor: 'gray', borderWidth: 1}} />
      // </View>

      <View style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.container}>
          <Text style={styles.headerText}>Its Amazing</Text>
          <FloatingTitleTextInputField
            attrName="firstName"
            title="First Name"
            value={this.state.firstName}
            updateMasterState={this._updateMasterState}
          />
          <FloatingTitleTextInputField
            attrName="lastName"
            title="Last Name"
            value={this.state.lastName}
            updateMasterState={this._updateMasterState}
          />
        </View>
      </View>
    );
  }
}
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    paddingTop: 65,
    backgroundColor: 'white',
  },
  labelInput: {
    color: '#673AB7',
  },
  formInput: {
    borderBottomWidth: 1.5,
    marginLeft: 20,
    borderColor: '#333',
  },
  input: {
    borderWidth: 0,
  },
});

When i try to use FloatingTitleTextInputField inside HomeScreen.js I'm getting below error

Can anybody help me to solve this issue

If need more information please do let me know. Thanks in advance. Your efforts will be appreciated.

Solution 1

You're referencing it from the HomeScreen component which is in the screens directory. Because you're using the local ./ path, it's trying to find it in screens/customComponents. Using ../customComponents/floating_title_text_input_field should fix it.

Solution 2

You can clean the cache on your bundler:

npm start --clean-cache

Solution 3

Even though your mistake was using the wrong path during the require statement, I think it might be useful to share how I solved this issue, where file import path wasn't the reason for the error. I encountered this issue after I added some image assets and required them in my components. But I forgot to build the app again. After several attempts, this is the solution that worked for me.

1. Stop your development server.
2. Install the app on your android device or emulator, using yarn android/ios.
3. Start the development server using yarn start.

Thanks i have tried using import FloatingTitleTextInputField from '../customComponents/FloatingTitleTextInputField'; but still getting same error

Sorry, I had miswritten the file to be camel case. I've corrected above

[Mike M]

@Goku FWIW, rather than use relative paths I usually reference items from the project root, as in myprojectname/customComponents/floating_title_text_input_fie‌​ld. Best of luck

Wild I had the same problem in expo. I renamed my file from someCamel to SomeCamel and VS code was fine with imports '../someCamel', even expo react native web was okay with it but Ios was not. Thanks, I was driving myself nuts b/c I would I have never checked the file name since the others were working fine.
