how to handle local video files Reactjs

I need some help to handle local video files in reactjs... can't resolve ./assets/video.mp4 error... tried every possible direction..

the idea behind this is to make a full screen video like https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_fullscreen_video.asp but with Reactjs.

video.js

       import React from 'react';

       class Video extends React.Component {
       render(){
          return(
             <div className="myVideo">
                 <video controls autostart autoPlay src={this.props.src} type={this.props.type}/>
            </div>
             )
           }
         }

         export default Video;

index.js

      import React,{Component} from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Video from './video';
import Robin from './assets/Robin.mp4'

const VIDEO = {
  src:Robin,
  type:'video/mp4'
 };

class App extends Component {
   constructor(props){
     super(props)
     this.state = {
       src: VIDEO.src,
       type:VIDEO.type
     }
   }

   render(){
     return(
       <div>
         <Video src={this.state.src} type={this.state.type}/>
       </div>
     )
   }

}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

console error:

./src/index.js Module not found: Can't resolve './assets/*.mp4' in 'C:\Users\sanjs\Desktop\landing-video\src'

  1. Create a custom.d.ts in your src directory
  2. Paste this code in that file
declare module '*.mp4' {
  const src: string;
  export default src;
}

That should work!

solved! the problem was that the filename 'Robin .mp4' and I imported as ''Robin.mp4" so I changed de filename to 'Robin.mp4' and that's it.

Maybe you have some spelling mistake here is a code for import local video and it just works fine

  import React from "react";
  import "./App.css";
  import Video from "./video.mp4";

  function App() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
          <video controls autostart autoPlay src={Video} type="video/mp4" />
      </div>
    );
  }

  export default App;

I imported my video file at the same directory of app.js. Maybe this will help you.
