Documented steps

  1. Open vite.config and add resolve.alias using the object form: alias: { '@': '/absolute/path/to/src' }.
  2. Always use absolute paths for filesystem aliases (import path or new URL(..., import.meta.url)), not relative values.
  3. For regex/replacement support use the array form: [{ find: /^(.*)\.js$/, replacement: '$1.alias' }].
  4. Order matters: the first matching rule is applied, so put more specific aliases first.
  5. Keep tsconfig.json paths in sync (paths + baseUrl) so the TS language server resolves the same aliases.
  6. Restart the dev server after changing vite.config.
