TS2792: Cannot find module — did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'nodenext' TypeScript Origin: On your device OSI layer 7 · Application Last updated 5 Nov 2026

TypeScript: error TS2792: Cannot find module 'x'. Did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'nodenext', or to add aliases to the 'paths' option?

TypeScript can't resolve a package because moduleResolution doesn't match how the package exports (package exports map) or paths aren't set.

Meaning

Modern packages use exports; TypeScript needs "moduleResolution": "bundler" (Vite/webpack/Next) or "node16"/"nodenext" (Node ESM), with a matching module (esnext/nodenext). Older "node" can't read exports. For path aliases add paths and baseUrl.

Common causes

  • moduleResolution: "classic"/"node" with ESM-only package exports
  • Missing paths for aliases
  • module/moduleResolution mismatch
  • Package without types
  • Deep import blocked by exports

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Use "module": "esnext", "moduleResolution": "bundler" for bundled apps
  2. "module": "nodenext", "moduleResolution": "nodenext" for Node ESM
  3. Configure paths for aliases

Detailed fix by platform

TypeScript

  1. { "compilerOptions": { "module": "esnext", "moduleResolution": "bundler" } }

How to diagnose

  1. Resolution — bundler/nodenext?
  2. Package — exports map?
  3. Paths — Aliases?
