Maybe index.js is not present , check your folder correctly

Yeh, it is right but I delete the inbuilt src folder and create my own folder and in these folders, I create avatar.js file as it is the right way or wrong pls describe me.
create a file named index.js and import your avatar.js to it and render the index.js to the DOM
or create a App.js file and import all your components to it like your avatar.js and return it there (App.js),after that import your App.js to index.js and render it

In my case, when I created a new src folder, it wasn't inside my cd. so it gave this error. Dragging the src folder inside the cd solved the error for me

Just rename your js file to "index.js"

I have the same problem but this did not help. I just created a new react project by npx create-react-app 'project-name' and just deleted the files inside src folder. then created a new index.js. instead of deleting the src folder for the purpose of creating the react project from scratch. I hope this will help.

In my case I noticed I opened my src folder inside my public folder. I removed my src folder from my public folder and that solved my issue. I hope this helps.

May be you put src folder inside public folder it should be on the same level of public level

-public -src

I had this same error while running a next app.

The issue was resolved when i moved src (which contained my index.js file) out of public folder making it look this way; my-app/frontend/src
