Not much info.

Import looks like:

import SmoochContext from ‘…/…/…/…/app-context/SmoochContext’;

Configuration file name

babel.config.json

Configuration

module.exports = {
  presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset', '@babel/preset-typescript'],
  plugins: [
    [
      'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
    ],
    [
      'module-resolver',
      {
        "root": [
          "./src"
        ],
        alias: {
          "^~(.+)$": "./src/\\1",
          tests: ['./tests/'],
        },
        extensions: ['.ios.js', '.android.js', '.js', '.jsx', '.ts', '.tsx', '.json'],
      },
    ],
  ],
};
