npm link not resolving-CodePudding

I have two barebones react apps. I'm trying to import a component from one into the other, and my link command isn't enough to resolve the module I need.

cd ~/workspace/export-test
npm link

cd ~/workspace/import-test
npm link export-test
npm run build

ERROR in ./src/HelloWorld.js 2:0-39
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'export-test' in '/Users/username/workspace/import-test/src'

What am I doing wrong?

~/workspace/import-test/

// src/HelloWorld.js
import { ImportMe } from 'export-test'

// package.json
// The exact same as export-test, except for name

~/workspace/export-test/:

// src/index.js
...
import ImportMe from './ImportMe';
render(<ImportMe />, document.getElementById('root'));
...

// src/ImportMe.js
const ImportMe = () => {
    return <h1>I have been imported!</h1>;
};
export default ImportMe;

// package.json

CodePudding user response：

Just to make it clear.

When npm link is used main property in package.json have to point to a file you want to export.

In this case, it was index.js, but it should be src/index.js
