Convert relative to alias imports

Simple utility to convert relative to aliased imports.

Usage

npx convert-relative-to-alias-imports <alias> <rootDirectory>;

or use command line flags:

• alias (or a)
• rootDir (or r)

Example

Given a project in which the code is in the ./src directory.

Add the following to your tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions":{
        "baseUrl": "src",
        "paths": {
          "@/*": ["./*"],
        }
    }
}

Then run the following command to update all import statements in your project: npx convert-relative-to-alias-imports @ src;

Your imports will now look like this:

import example from '@/utils/example';

Instead of:

import example from '../utils/example';

Your tests might complain about this setup. Possible solution is to add this to your jest config:

{
    moduleNameMapper: {
        '@/(.*)': '<rootDir>/src/$1',
    },
}
