Most of the time, you will use the global JavaScript components object. However, in some cases, you might want to import a Core component using a static path, such as admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/components/auto-complete-search.ts.
We don’t recommend doing this. If you absolutely need it, make sure to remove the file extension from the import path:
// Incorrect
import AutoCompletSearch from '../../../../admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/components/auto-complete-search.js'
import AutoCompletSearch from '../../../../admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/components/auto-complete-search.ts'
// Correct
import AutoCompletSearch from '../../../../admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/components/auto-complete-search'
If you need to carry out the above import, it is likely you will be using a bundler such as Webpack or Parcel. If the file you are trying to import is a TypeScript file, you need to add the TypeScript loader to your project and a tsconfig file.
Example of a TypeScript loader:
{
test: /\.ts?$/,
use: 'ts-loader',
exclude: /node_modules/,
},
Example of a TypeScript configuration file:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "./public/",
"noImplicitAny": true,
"module": "es6",
"target": "es5",
"strict": true,
"moduleResolution": "node",
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"allowJs": true,
"baseUrl": "./",
"paths": {
"@app/*": ["js/app/*"],
"@js/*": ["js/*"],
"@pages/*": ["js/pages/*"],
"@components/*": ["js/components/*"],
"@scss/*": ["scss/*"],
"@node_modules/*": ["node_modules/*"],
"@vue/*": ["js/vue/*"],
"@PSTypes/*": ["js/types/*"]
},
"typeRoots": ["js/types", "node_modules/@types"]
},
"ts-node": {
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs"
}
}
