I want to set a simple background image with an overlay to a react component from a sass file, but I am getting this error, Module not found: You attempted to import ../assets/hero.jpg which falls outside of the project src/ directory. Relative imports outside of src/ are not supported.
, this is very strange as the assets folder that contains the image is actually inside the /src
folder, here is my folder structure
src/
|assets/
hero.jpg
|sass/
|main.scss
|sassFiles/
|components.scss
|..
|components/
|Navbar.js
|Home.js
|..
|App.js
|index.js
|..
/* _components.scss file */
.hero {
height: 60vh;
background: linear-gradient(rgba(238, 238, 238, 0.459)), url(../../assets/hero.jpg) no-repeat 50% 50%;
background-size: cover;
}
when I import the image from the component like so import hero from '../assets/hero.jpg'
, it works fine,
the error occurs only when I import it from the .scss file, other than that, styles are being applied with no problems.
