Can you import node's path module using import path from 'path'


For people trying to import path in a TypeScript file, and ending up here:

  1. Be sure to have node types installed:

    npm install --save-dev @types/node
  2. Import path symbol:

    import * as path from 'path';

Note: @types/* are automatically included for compilation, providing you use typescript version 2.0 or above, and provided you don't override the types property in compiler options file (tsconfig.json).


You can either do

import module from 'path'

or if you just need to import path just do

import 'path'


If not using typescript

import * as path from 'path'

is the only thing that works for me.
