[Packger] Importing from parent directory of react-native root

[yugalbagul]

I am trying to share code between my web and mobile. I have gone through this thread/issue which is same as mine.

Unfortunately @dutzi's solution does not seem to work with react-native@0.44.0.

Also this post here says it is not allowed to fetch from outside of your React Native Project root.

I have followed this medium article and other such sources which suggest similar way.

Stack overflow question for the same.

I am running -
"react": "16.0.0-alpha.6", "react-native": "0.44.0",

Folder Structure

  -- parent
    -- package.json {"name":'parent'}
    -- mobile
      -- app
        -- modules
          -- login
            -- Login (import { loginAPi } from 'parent/src/data/api')
    -- src
      -- package.json {"name": "source"}
    -- data
      -- package.json {"name": "data"}
      -- api
        -- package.json ({"name":"api"})
        -- index.js

packager console:

error: bundling: UnableToResolveError: Unable to resolve module `parent/src/js/data/api` from `/Users/../../../../mobile/app/modules/login/Login.js`: 
Module does not exist in the module map or in these directories:
/Users/../../../parent/mobile/node_modules/parent/src/js/data
/Users/../../../parent/node_modules/parent/src/js/data
/Users/../../../node_modules/parent/src/js/data

NOTE- Web application which is in src has been already developed and has considerable code, and the team is just starting with the react-native set up. We want to use the data part of the web application in the mobile.

Need help getting things right.

Hi there!

The packager no longer lives in this repo. It now lives in https://github.com/facebook/metro-bundler. The reasoning for the split is explained here: #13976.

If you're still interested in pursuing this issue, please open an issue on that repo! :)

Thanks!
