How to import with absolute paths in Gatsby

gatsby-node.js:

const path = require('path')
exports.onCreateWebpackConfig = ({ actions }) => {
  actions.setWebpackConfig({
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        components: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/components'),
        templates: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/templates'),
      },
    },
  })
};

./project/src/path/to/some/file/of/yours.js:

import Layout from 'components';

as opposed to:

import Layout from '../../../../components/Layout.js';
