Add the opportunity to import modules by the root path

Babel Root Import

Babel plugin to change the behaviour of import to root based paths.

Example

// Usually
import SomeExample from '../../../some/example.js';

// With Babel-Root-Importer
import SomeExample from '/some/example.js';

Install

npm install babel-root-slash-import --save-dev

Use

Add a .babelrc file and write:

{
  "plugins": [
    "babel-root-slash-import"
  ]
}

or pass the plugin with the plugins-flag on CLI

babel-node myfile.js --plugins babel-root-slash-import

Extras

If you want a custom root because for example all your files are in the src/js folder you can define this in your .babelrc file

{
  "plugins": [
    ["babel-root-slash-import", {
      "rootPathSuffix": "src/js"
    }]
  ]
}
