Absoulate import in node express typescript project configrations.

If you want to enabled typescript express project for absoulate import and want remove ../.. from entire project this guide for you:

at first you need to configure tsconfig.json file where you need to configure absoulate path. You can check below file:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
      "target": "ES2020",
      "module": "commonjs",
      "strict": true,
      "esModuleInterop": true,
      "skipLibCheck": true,
      "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
      "outDir": "./dist",
      "rootDir": "./src",
      "baseUrl": ".",
      "paths": {
        "*": ["node_modules/*"],
        "@/*": ["src/*"], 
      }
    },
    "include": ["./env.d.ts", "src/**/*.ts"],
    "exclude": ["node_modules"]
  }

Note:
here i have used path as @/* and src is my base url

Then you need to add another library for configure this, tsconfig-paths it and chage your running script then everything will be fine.

script should be like this:

"scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon --watch src --exec ts-node --require tsconfig-paths/register --transpile-only src/main.ts",
  },
