tsconfig-paths-test

Demonstrates using tsconfig-paths/register with vanilla node.

yarn install --dev
yarn build
yarn test

This works by using three configuration settings.

1. In tsconfig.json, we set "baseUrl": "./src".

   This setting ensures that tsc build paths don't include src

2. In tsconfig.json, we define paths to include the mapping "~/*": ["./*"]

   This setting allows imports of ~/foo to resolve to a relative path to baseUrl.

3. In package.json, we invoke node with the TS_NODE_BASEURL=./dist environemtn variable.

   This setting tells node to use ./dist as the baseUrl (instead of ./src).
