Importing react native native module JS not working but importing native module from NativeModules does?

Question

When importing a react-native native module. There is an issue when importing the js from the project for example

import RNModule from 'react-native-module';

However importing RNModule using native modules works:

import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
const { RNModule } = NativeModules;

Has anyone else experienced this?

I've already tried clearing all the recommended caches as well as rebuilding.

I've tried importing from both the project name react-native-module and the file name rn-module

(Build and run instructions in README)

But this one does work.

When the button is clicked it will trigger a native Android function

and should make Hello World From RNModule appear on the screen.

@HeisenBrg if I attempt to import the javascript file using this line import RNModule from 'react-native-module'; I get react-native-module not found in haste module map However the package exists in NativeModules — 814k31

There is no module called react-native-module, so it doesn't work. — 10101010

@10101010 so what would the module be called? Because I am importing a module called react-native-module github.com/814k31/TestReactNativeNativeModule/blob/master/RNApp/… Which is declared github.com/814k31/TestReactNativeNativeModule/blob/master/… — 814k31
