# ImportedType

This type represents a type from a specific file. It is the result of joining a [Path](path) string with a type name, and is represented as such: `Path:TypeName`, where `Path` is the path to a file and `TypeName` is the name of a model in that specific file. When defining paths, you should follow the recommendations from [this](../../../concepts/conventions-and-standards#paths-and-denoting-paths) page. We recommend using [importType](../../../modules/schema-creator/api-documentation#importtype-file-string-typename-string) to get an [ImportedType](imported-type).
