How to import a npm package

Question

I have published a npm package called sum . which have just main.js file:

export function sum (a , b){ return a+b }

My package.json is like this :

{ "name":"sum", "version":"1.0.0", "description":"simple npm package", "main":"./main.js", "module":"./main.js" }

I installed it in another directory and import it:

import {sum} from "sum" alert(sum(1,2))

but it gave this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "sum". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".

locally you need to spacify the path of the module main.js file on importing

like this

import {sum} from '/path/to/direc/main.js'

or

you can add the package in your local npm modules and test.

for this you have to run.

cd ~/projects/your-pkg # go into the package directory npm link # creates global link cd ~/projects/curr_proj # go into some other package directory. npm link package name # link-install the package

yes , I know but I am telling you that I have published the sum package and installed it with npm install sum
