I was learning socket.io and when I reached the client side part, I installed a package called socket.io-client as per my instructor. When I tried to use it in my client side JS, it threw me an error. My socket.io is configured to run in the port 3000. This is my first time trying to use npm packages in the client side JS. My instructor was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKEqqIO7n-k&t=96s The error reads out like this:-

Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "socket.io-client". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".

Here is my code:

import { io } from "socket.io-client";
const socket = io("http://localhost:3000");

Can anyone help me with this error?

try

    import {io} from "/server.js";
    const socket = io("http://localhost:3000");

this will make it work as you would have required the library on a different file
