const CracoAlias = require("craco-alias");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
plugin: CracoAlias,
options: {
source: "options",
baseUrl: "./",
aliases: {
"@file": "./src/file.js",
"@dir": "./src/some/dir",
// you can alias packages too
"@material-ui": "./node_modules/@material-ui-ie10"
}

const CracoAlias = require("craco-alias");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
plugin: CracoAlias,
options: {
source: "jsconfig",
// baseUrl SHOULD be specified
// plugin does not take it from jsconfig
baseUrl: "./src"

};
> Note: your jsconfig should always have compilerOptions.paths
property. baseUrl
is optional for plugin, but some IDEs and editors require it for intellisense.
js
/* jsconfig.json */
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": "./src",
"paths": {
// file aliases
"@baz": ["./baz.js"],
"@boo": ["./boo.jsx"],
// folder aliases
"@root": ["./"],
"@root/*": ["./*"],
"@lib": ["./lib"],
"@lib/*": ["./lib/*"],
// package aliases (types is optional without ts)
"@my-react-select": [
"../node_modules/react-select",
"../node_modules/@types/react-select"
],
"@my-react-select/*": [
"../node_modules/react-select/*",
"../node_modules/@types/react-select"
]
}
}
}
tsconfig.extend.json
.
3. Edit it as follows:
js
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": "./src",
"paths": {
// file aliases
"@baz": ["./baz.ts"],
"@boo": ["./boo.tsx"],
// folder aliases
"@root": ["./"],
"@root/*": ["./*"],
"@lib": ["./lib"],
"@lib/*": ["./lib/*"],
// package aliases
"@my-react-select": [
"../node_modules/react-select",
"../node_modules/@types/react-select"
],
"@my-react-select/*": [
"../node_modules/react-select/*",
"../node_modules/@types/react-select"
]
}
}
}
4. Go to tsconfig.json
.
5. Extend tsconfig.json
from tsconfig.extend.json
:
diff
{
+ "extends": "./tsconfig.extend.json",
"compilerOptions": {
...
},
...
}
6. Edit craco.config.js
:
js
const CracoAlias = require("craco-alias");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
plugin: CracoAlias,
options: {
source: "tsconfig",
// baseUrl SHOULD be specified
// plugin does not take it from tsconfig
baseUrl: "./src",
// tsConfigPath should point to the file where "baseUrl" and "paths" are specified
tsConfigPath: "./tsconfig.extend.json"
}
}
]
};
