React-native app can't find my ".js" files path and I'm not sure why. I try couple of ways, for example:

1- '../components/LoginScreen' 2- './LoginScreen' 3- './LoginScreen.js'

but same result.

Here is the error if someone can help me:

Looking for JS files in
   C:\Users\<User>\reactnewapp

  * `C:\Users\<User>\reactnewapp\LoginScreen(.native||.android.js|.native.js|.js|.android.json|.native.json|.json|.android.ts|.native.ts|.ts|.android.tsx|.native.tsx|.tsx)`

Even when I put the './' it doesn't offer me a path.

App.js :

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {Platform, StyleSheet, Text, View, Button} from 'react-native';
import MainNavigator from './LoginScreen';


export default class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (

      <React.Fragment>
      <MainNavigator/>
      </React.Fragment>
    );
  }
}

  • Could you show us the content of the App.js file as well as a list of the files and folders in the directory? Commented Jun 8, 2019 at 16:52
  • In components folder there is only one js file LoginScreen, nothing else. But okay I will show you the App.js file. Commented Jun 8, 2019 at 16:55
  • Does the LoginScreen file has a .js extension? Commented Jun 8, 2019 at 16:57
  • You mean if there are some other files imported inside? Commented Jun 8, 2019 at 16:58
  • No I mean is the file called "LoginScreen" or "LoginScreen.js"? Commented Jun 8, 2019 at 16:59

You are trying to import a file called "LoginScreen" located in the same folder. But your file is in the /components directory.

Change your import to:

import MainNavigator from './components/LoginScreen';

One dot is to indicate the current directory, which is what you want here. Two dots would be to indicate the parent directory.

Thanks a lot it worked. But why it's different? In Expo project it is with two dots, or only './LoginScreen';
Maybe your App.js file was located in the /components folder in your Expo project?
No, this is brand new project. I worked before with Expo and now I start with react-native projects.
