Tried to use npm start with Create React App to launch my react application, but got this error:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:943
  throw err;

Error: Cannot find module './keywords'

Someone suggested searching for a file called "keywords", but that word only appears in files as part of ajv-keywords or css-color-keywords. Someone else advised reinstalling the entire node-modules folder, but that sounds a bit drastic. I'm now asking you for help. Thanks for any help.

  • Is there a file called `keywords.js`? If there is, can you share how your folder structure looks like? – Rukshan Jayasekara Jun 20 '21 at 16:21

    As I said, no file name contains `keywords`, it only appears *in* files as part of these two packages/modules. – mikwee Jun 20 '21 at 16:45
  • Can you add the code, where you use the import from the `keywords` module? Then it'll be easier to identify the issue. – Rukshan Jayasekara Jun 20 '21 at 16:49

    Noticed I didn't have the `keywords` package, so I installed it, but it still showed the same error. I searched `keywords` again, and it obviously appeared, but only in `package-lock.json`, `package.json` & `yarn.lock` (Tried to move to Yarn, and tbh, everything went downhill from there). – mikwee Jun 20 '21 at 19:14

I also faced the same problem. What I did was removed the node modules folder and reinstalled it. I will also share the commands

 rm -R node_modules
 npm cache --force clean
 npm cache --force clear
 npm install
 npm start

Hope this works. It worked form me, but in my case, there was a folder of avj-keywords.

Assuming you import it as "Keywords",

Change import Keywords from './keywords' to import Keywords from 'keywords'

You don't need to use relative paths when importing packages from node_modules.
