A [Babel](http://babeljs.io) plugin to add a new resolver for your modules when compiling your code using Babel. This plugin allows you to add new "root" directories that contain your modules. It also allows you to setup a custom alias for directories, specific files, or even other npm modules.

## Description

This plugin can simplify the require/import paths in your project. For example, instead of using complex relative paths like `../../../../utils/my-utils`, you can write `utils/my-utils`. It will allow you to work faster since you won't need to calculate how many levels of directory you have to go up before accessing the file.

```js
// Use this:
import MyUtilFn from 'utils/MyUtilFn';
// Instead of that:
import MyUtilFn from '../../../../utils/MyUtilFn';

// And it also work with require calls
// Use this:
const MyUtilFn = require('utils/MyUtilFn');
// Instead of that:
const MyUtilFn = require('../../../../utils/MyUtilFn');
```

## Getting started

Install the plugin

```
npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-module-resolver
```
or
```
yarn add --dev babel-plugin-module-resolver
```

Specify the plugin in your `.babelrc` with the custom root or alias. Here's an example:
```json
{
  "plugins": [
    ["module-resolver", {
      "root": ["./src"],
      "alias": {
        "test": "./test",
        "underscore": "lodash"
      }
    }]
  ]
}
```

**.babelrc.js version**
Specify the plugin in your `.babelrc.js` file with the custom root or alias. Here's an example:
```

const plugins = [
  [
    require.resolve('babel-plugin-module-resolver'),
    {
      root: ["./src/"],
      alias: {
        "test": "./test"
      }
    }

  ]

];

```

## Documentation

babel-plugin-module-resolver can be configured and controlled easily, check the [documentation](DOCS.md) for more details

Are you a plugin author (e.g. IDE integration)? We have [documented the exposed functions](DOCS.md#for-plugin-authors) for use in your plugins!

## ESLint plugin

If you're using ESLint, you should use [eslint-plugin-import][eslint-plugin-import], and [eslint-import-resolver-babel-module][eslint-import-resolver-babel-module] to remove falsy unresolved modules. If you want to have warnings when aliased modules are being imported by their relative paths, you can use [eslint-plugin-module-resolver](https://github.com/HeroProtagonist/eslint-plugin-module-resolver).

## Editors autocompletion

- Atom: Uses [atom-autocomplete-modules][atom-autocomplete-modules] and enable the `babel-plugin-module-resolver` option.
- VS Code: Configure the [path mapping](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/module-resolution.html#path-mapping) in `jsconfig.json` (`tsconfig.json` for TypeScript), e.g.:

```js
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "*": ["src/*"],
      "test/*": ["test/*"],
      "underscore": ["lodash"]
    }
  }
}
```

- IntelliJ/WebStorm: You can mark your module directories as "resources root" e.g if you have `../../../utils/MyUtilFn` you can mark
  `../../../utils` as "resources root". This has the problem that your alias also has to be named `utils`. The second option is to add
  a `webpack.config.js` to your project and use it under File->Settings->Languages&Frameworks->JavaScript->Webpack. This will trick webstorm
  into resolving the paths and you can use any alias you want e.g.:

```js
var path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.js', '.json', '.vue'],
    alias: {
      utils: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../utils/MyUtilFn'),
    },
  },
};
```
