I have written a widget using JS API 4.16/TypeScript and I'm deploying it in another application (also using TypeScript) and I'm getting the error in the post title on compile. In index.html I have:

window.dojoConfig = {
        packages: [
          {
            name: "my-widget",
            location: "/Widgets/MyWidget/app"
          }
        ]
      };

and in my main.ts I have (this is the line generating the error):

import MyWidget = require("my-widget/MyWidget");

the error is the same as the title: Cannot find module or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)

my tsconfig is:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "esModuleInterop"true,
    "module""amd",
    "noImplicitAny"true,
    "sourceMap"true,
    "jsx""react",
    "jsxFactory""tsx",
    "target""es5",
    "lib": ["es5""es6""dom""scripthost"],
    "experimentalDecorators"true,
    "preserveConstEnums"true,
    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors"true
  },
  "include": ["./app/*"],
  
  "files":[
    "./node_modules/dojo-typings/dojo/1.11/modules.d.ts",
    "./node_modules/dojo-typings/dijit/1.11/modules.d.ts",
    "./node_modules/dojo-typings/dojox/1.11/modules.d.ts"
  ],

  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

the file structure is:

/

..my-app/

.. ..app/

.. .. ..main.ts

.. ..index.html

.. ..tsconfig.json

..Widgets/

.. ..MyWidget/

.. .. ..app/

.. .. .. ..MyWidget.ts .js etc

How can I resolve this error? There's a lot of info on developing custom widgets, but not much on deploying/moving to production, so I'm looking for any tips on the best way to do that, too.

It looks like the order is incorrect in this line:

import MyWidget = require("my-widget/MyWidget");

Should be something like this:

import MyWidget = require("MyWidget/my-widget");

Here are some examples about this workflow from our samples page:

Thanks for the reply. I've tried using the order you suggested and it results in the browser trying to load my widget from the js api, and generating a not found error.

From DevTools console:

GET https://js.arcgis.com/4.16/dojo/MyWidget/my-widget.js 404

Using the original order, the code still compiles and loads properly in the browser. That made me think it was a problem with my TypeScript configuration.
