<p>Be aware of the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36795819/react-native-es-6-when-should-i-use-curly-braces-for-import/36796281#36796281">difference between default and named exports</a>. It is a common source of mistakes.</p>
<p>We suggest that you stick to using default imports and exports when a module only exports a single thing (for example, a component). Thats what you get when you use <code>export default Button</code> and <code>import Button from './Button'</code>.</p>
<p>Named exports are useful for utility modules that export several functions. A module may have at most one default export and as many named exports as you like.</p>

<p>You can configure your application to support importing modules using absolute paths. This can be done by configuring a <code>jsconfig.json</code> or <code>tsconfig.json</code> file in the root of your project. If you're using TypeScript in your project, you will already have a <code>tsconfig.json</code> file.</p>
<p>Below is an example <code>jsconfig.json</code> file for a JavaScript project. You can create the file if it doesn't already exist:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-json">{
<span class="hljs-attr">"compilerOptions"</span>: {
<span class="hljs-attr">"baseUrl"</span>: <span class="hljs-string">"src"</span>
},
<span class="hljs-attr">"include"</span>: [<span class="hljs-string">"src"</span>]
}
</code></pre>
<p>If you're using TypeScript, you can configure the <code>baseUrl</code> setting inside the <code>compilerOptions</code> of your project's <code>tsconfig.json</code> file.</p>
<p>Now that you've configured your project to support absolute imports, if you want to import a module located at <code>src/components/Button.js</code>, you can import the module like so:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">import</span> Button <span class="hljs-keyword">from</span> <span class="hljs-string">'components/Button'</span>;
</code></pre>
<p>For more information on these configuration files, see the <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/jsconfig">jsconfig.json reference</a> and <a href="https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html">tsconfig.json reference</a> documentation.</p>
