I'm trying to import the createjs lib into my react project.

So I installed it via npm install createjs --save

And there is a folder called createjs in node_modules.

But when I try to import it with require("createjs") it says:

"Module not found: Can't resolve 'createjs.js' in '...client/src'"

my package.json looks like this:

"dependencies": {
    "createjs": "^1.0.1",
    "createjs-easeljs": "^0.8.2",
    "react": "^16.8.6",
    "react-dom": "^16.8.6",
    "react-nav2djs": "0.0.3",
    "react-scripts": "3.0.1",
    "ros2d": "^0.9.0",
    "roslib": "^1.0.1",
    "vb-react-nav2djs": "0.0.4"
  }

What am I doing wrong?

Can't really do much without knowing more about your enviroment, what bundler are you using? – remoo Jul 23 '19 at 17:48
I'm using the standard create-react-app package via `npx create-react-app` so should be the latest version – Tom Jul 23 '19 at 17:53

If you haven't restarted your dev server, the new dependencies won't be available. Give that a try if you haven't already. – seanulus Jul 23 '19 at 17:54
I did try that already – Tom Jul 23 '19 at 17:59

are you still facing the issue? – Moe Jul 23 '19 at 18:32
yes, i do, I'm thinking of just giving up and trying to import it over index.html – Tom Jul 23 '19 at 19:10
maybe try: import * as createjs from 'createjs'; – wakakak Jul 24 '19 at 04:42
