I have a project with the following structure:

project | -

  public | -
    -index.html
  src | -
    -index.js

and the code to import the file is :

<script src="../src/index.js"></script>

and it doesn't work. Any ideas why?

Assuming that public is the only directory exposed with a URL (i.e. you access index.html with http://example.com/index.html): you can't.

The browser can only access the file by requesting its URL, and if you've not put it in public then it doesn't have a URL.

Either:

Move the JS file
Configure the server to give it a URL via some mechanism other than it being inside the document root.
