Absolute imports with Create React App
Plus ESLint and WebStorm config
5 min readMay 19, 2019
With the release of Create React App 3, we now have the ability to use absolute import paths, without ejecting.
Hallelujah.
If you’re reading this you probably don’t need me to tell you why this is a good thing. I’m going to anyway, though.
- It’s easier to type out the paths, no more
../../../hell
. - You can copy/paste code including imports into other files and not have to fiddle with the import paths.
