Root Imports

// Relative importimport { User } from '../../entities';
// Root importimport { User } from 'app/entities';

FoalTS build does not resolve root imports by default. You must install the module-alias package if you want to use them. Here's how to configure the library with Foal:

npm install module-alias

Specify the directory from which root imports should be resolved during compilation.

tsconfig.json

{  "compilerOptions": {    "baseUrl": "src",    ...  }}

Specify the directory from which root imports should be resolved at runtime.

package.json

{  ...   "_moduleDirectories": ["./build"]}

Then register the loader at the top of the file src/index.ts.

src/index.ts

import 'module-alias/register';
// ...

If you use shell scripts, the loader must also be registered at the top of each one.

src/scripts/create-user.ts (example)

import 'module-alias/register';
// ...
