jshanson7Babel Resolver 
Resolve modules from any directory.
import User from '../../models/User';Becomes:
import User from 'models/User';Usage
In app/index.js:
require('babel-register')({
presets: ['es2015'], // required for 'import'
resolveModuleSource: require('babel-resolver')(__dirname)
});
require('./app');In app/app.js:
import User from 'models/User';
// => resolves: "app/models/User.js"This example uses Babel 6 and babel-register.
If you wish to define options in .babelrc, use the Babel Resolver Plugin instead.
Note: Run rm -rf ~/.babel.json if you're seeing errors.
Note2: Babel's resolveModuleSource is only called when you use import, not require.
Also, keep in mind that you must provide absolute directory paths to babel-resolver.
Resolving Multiple Directories
In app/index.js:
var path = require('path');
var localModulesDir = __dirname;
var anotherDirToCheck = path.resolve(__dirname, 'lib');
require('babel-register')({
presets: ['es2015'],
resolveModuleSource: require('babel-resolver')(localModulesDir, anotherDirToCheck)
});
require('./app');In app/app.js:
import User from 'models/User';
// => resolves: "app/models/User.js"
import somethingInLib from 'somethingInLib';
// => resolves: "app/lib/somethingInLib.js"Installation
npm i babel-resolver --save
rm -rf ~/.babel.jsonWhy not just set NODE_PATH?
While setting NODE_PATH=app is a perfectly valid solution, babel-resolver is more explicit and lets you avoid mucking around with environment variables.
