To solve the "Cannot find module path
or its corresponding type
declarations" error, install the types for node by running the command
npm i -D @types/node
. You can then import path
with the following line of
code import * as path from 'path'
.
Make sure to install the typings for node, by opening your terminal in your project's root directory and running the following command:
npm i -D @types/node
Now you are able to import the path
module with the following line of code.
import * as path from 'path'; console.log(path);
If your error has not been resolved, open your tsconfig.json
file and make
sure the types
array contains the string node
.
{ "compilerOptions": { "types": [ "node" ] }, }
path
module.If the error is not resolved, try to delete your node_modules
and
package-lock.json
files, re-run npm install
and restart your IDE.
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json npm install
Make sure to restart your IDE if the error still persists. VSCode glitches often and a reboot solves things sometimes.
