Is there a way to transpile and support imports from a folder that is outside the expo project's main folder?
I'm looking to just import some additional files from a shared folder.
Here's my setup, and problem:
The root folder
Has 3 subfolders, no package.json, no tsconfig.json, just those:
- /server --> a nodejs rest api
- /mobile --> an expo project
- /shared --> a folder with lots of common typescript files
The mobile folder
This one has the expo project generated with typescript. Project works fine up until I import something from ./shared.
Importing a file from ./shared in the expo folder does not work: (running npm run start in ./mobile fodler)
// mobile/src/screents/login
import { inject } from "../../../../shared/src/core/di"
The error I get is this:
Web:
Ios:
My assumption is that the file is found yet the babel/typescript transpilation is not triggered. I am uncertain where this aspect can be specified.
My mobile/babel.config.js is the standard one generated by expo:
module.exports = function(api) {
api.cache(true);
return {
presets: ['babel-preset-expo'],
};
};
There is no mobile/metro.config.js.
I looked over the docs and got lost in between expo and metro configurations.
