How to Fix error 2307 Error – Visual studio code is saying svg image import is typescript error 2307
VS Code error message for SVG import in React/Typescript project.
📋 Table of Contents
The error 'Cannot find module '../../../public/images/RN_logo.svg'. ts(2307)' is displayed in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for users who import SVG images using Webpack's HtmlWebpackInlineSVGPlugin, such as in React and TypeScript projects. This error message indicates that VS Code cannot resolve the file path of the imported SVG image.
This issue can be frustrating because it prevents users from seeing the rendered component in the editor, even though the code compiles successfully during build time.
⚠️ Common Causes
- The primary reason for this issue is that Webpack's HtmlWebpackInlineSVGPlugin does not generate a corresponding .ts or .js file for the imported SVG image. As a result, VS Code treats the imported SVG as an external module and cannot resolve its file path.
- Another possible cause is that the import statement is missing the correct file extension (e.g., .svg) or the file path is incorrect.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fixes
Disabling the error message in VS Code
- Step 1: To disable the error message, navigate to the Settings panel in VS Code by pressing `Ctrl + ,` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd + ,` (Mac). In the Settings panel, search for 'ts' and select 'TypeScript: Show file paths for imports'. Select 'Never' from the dropdown menu.
- Step 2: Alternatively, you can also disable the error message by adding the following configuration to your `settings.json` file: `{ "editor.codeActions.onSave.autofixTs": false }`
- Step 3: After making these changes, restart VS Code or reload the editor window. The error message should no longer be displayed.
Configuring VS Code to understand imported image assets
- Step 1: To help VS Code understand that the imported SVG is an asset file, you can add a configuration to your `launch.json` file: `{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations":[{"type":"typescript"},{"type":"react","request":"openFolder"}]}`
- Step 2: Alternatively, you can also configure VS Code to use the Webpack compiler by adding the following configuration to your `settings.json` file: `{ "compilerOptions": { "outDir": "dist", "sourceMap": true } }`
✨ Wrapping Up
By disabling the error message or configuring VS Code to understand imported image assets, you can resolve the issue and improve the development experience for users who work with React and TypeScript projects that use Webpack's HtmlWebpackInlineSVGPlugin.
