Check for the import statements It should be ended with semicolon  If you miss any  you will get this error    Also check whether following import statement added in you component    import   threadId   from  worker threads    If so remove that line  It works for me

The way we usually use import is based on relative path      and    are similar to how we use to navigate in terminal like cd    to go out of directory and mv   file   to move a file to current directory   my-app    node modules    package json   src      containers card js     components header js     App js     index js   In your case  App js is in src  directory while header js is in src components  To import you would do import Header from    components header   This roughly translate to in my current directory  find the components folder that contain a header file   Now  if from header js  you need to import something from card  you would do this  import Card from     containers card   This translate to  move out of my current directory  look for a folder name containers that have a card file   As for import React    Component   from  react   this does not start with a    or     or   therefore node will start looking for the module in the node modules in a specific order till react is found  For a more detail understanding  it can be read here

I was facing the same problem and I resolved it  See if your index js file is in src folder  then what ever file you are importing  the folder containing that must also be inside the src folder   That means if your components folder is outside the src folder  just drag it inside the src folder in your editor because the files outside of src folder are not imported   Then you shall be able to import using   components header header in this case

For me  I had the input correct but npm start can be buggy  at least using it with Hyper terminal on Windows and Linux   If I move files to different folders  npm start doesn t pick up on these changes  I need to cancel npm start process  make the move  save and then run npm start and it will see the files now

You can try to execute  npm install  in the app folder  This might also solve the problem  It worked for me

in my case  The error message was Module not found  Error  Can t resolve   components body  While everything was in the correct directory  I found that renaming body jsx to body js resolve the issue  So I added this code in webpack config js to resolve jsx as js  module exports               resolve        extensions     js     jsx           And then build error gone

I think its the double use of header  I just tried something similar myself and also caused issues  I capitalized my component file to match the others and it worked   import Header from    src components header header     Should be   import Header from    src components header Header

There is a better way you can handle the import of modules in your React App  Consider doing this   Add a jsconfig json file to your base folder  That is the same folder containing your package json  Next define your base URL imports in it     jsconfig json      quot compilerOptions quot          quot baseUrl quot    quot   src quot         Now rather than calling        you can easily do this instead  import navBar from  components header navBar  import  css header css   Notice that  components   is different from     components   It s neater this way  But if you want to import files in the same directory you can do this also  import logo from    logo svg
