Is there an equivalent for webpack.resolve.alias?

[dharnnie]

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to resolve paths with an app created with CRA (create-react-app).

Like that.

resolve:{ alias:{ app: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/app/'), } } in webpack

It's always a pain to to do this

import Header from '../../Header'
Or a way to configure if I ever eject.

If there isn't. Will be great to add that capability.
Thank you.

CRA internally use webpack, so you can find the webpack configuration in config folder and you can change them as you want after ejecting.

Also, there is one way to use absolute paths without ejecting though you don't get much flexibility like webpack aliases. CRA respect NODE_PATH environment variable. So you can set NODE_PATH=src and import anything in the src folder directly like import Header from "app/Header" assuming there is a src/app/Header.js file. To configure this environment variable you can either use .env file or use a tool like cross-env with npm scripts. This issue has been extensively discussed in #741.
