Absolute Imports and Aliases

This example shows how to configure Absolute imports and Module path aliases in tsconfig.json (or jsconfig.json for JavaScript projects). These options will allow absolute imports from . (the root directory), and allow you to create custom import aliases.

If you’re working on a large project, your relative import statements might suffer from ../../../ spaghetti:

import Button from '../../../components/button'

In such cases, we might want to setup absolute imports using the baseUrl option, for clearer and shorter imports:

import Button from 'components/button'

Furthermore, TypeScript also supports the paths option, which allows you to configure custom module aliases. You can then use your alias like so:

import Button from '@/components/button'

Deploy your own

Deploy the example using Vercel or preview live with StackBlitz

How to use

Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example with-absolute-imports with-absolute-imports-app

yarn create next-app --example with-absolute-imports with-absolute-imports-app

pnpm create next-app --example with-absolute-imports with-absolute-imports-app

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
