Step-by-Step Breakdown

Common Pitfalls

Incorrect File Paths

Ensure the file path in the import statement is correct. Common mistakes include typos in the file name or incorrect directory paths.

File Extensions

While modern JavaScript bundlers like Webpack allow omitting file extensions for .js files, it’s a good practice to include them, especially when dealing with .jsx files.

Case Sensitivity

File names in imports are case-sensitive. Ensure the case matches exactly, especially when working in environments like Linux where file names are case-sensitive.

Best Practices

Consistent Naming: Use a consistent naming convention for your files and components.

Relative vs. Absolute Paths: For better scalability, consider using absolute paths with a configured base URL.

Component Folder: Place each component in its own folder along with related styles and tests.
