Transpiling components outside /pages?

[malexdev]

Hello! I'm just now getting started with next (using version 1.2.3), and I have the following folder structure:

• package.json
• pages
  • index.js
• lib
  • components
    • Test.js

I have a symlink: node_modules/lib -> ../lib.
I import my Test component with import Test from 'lib/components/Test'.

This works fine, but it seems to not be transpiled: if I import anything from my Test component, I get the following error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token import.

Any guidance here? I'd be fine having my /components under /pages but I don't want them to be able to be served up standalone.

Thanks!

Short term answer is use relative paths for now. So import Test from 'lib/components/Test' would become import Test from '../lib/components/Test'

Ah, sorry for the duplicate, and makes sense about not transpiling node_modules. Thanks!
