Meteor import from outside the `/imports` directory

I have files in a /models/ directory off the root of the Meteor application. That directory is in .meteorignore so it’s not automatically loaded.

I can’t do import SomeModule from '/models/some-module.js' from a file in the /imports/ directory. In some-module.js, the error says that the export or import (at the top of the some-module.js file) is an error.

export default function () {
^^^^^^

In other words it is treating /models/ directory different than /imports/ directory. The same file in the /imports/ directory will import fine.

Please, if anybody knows how to fix this without moving all the files into /imports/ I would be grateful.

Have you tried:

import {SomeModule}from '/models/some-module.js'
