If you try to import a js file you’ve written, you may get an error like this:
Cannot find module './categories'.
Doing something like this:
import * as categories from "./categories";
In this case I have a file called “categories.js”.
The easiest way to fix this is to rename the file to “categories.ts”. Otherwise, Typescript things you might need a type mapping (the other way to fix this is to add a .d.ts file for your other library, so it has a type mapping)
