Examples

• Example for Webpack

const { reuse } = require('alias-reuse');
const tsconfigPath = path.join(__dirname, 'tsconfig.json');

module.exports = {
  resolve: {
    alias: reuse()
      .from(tsconfigPath) // Import aliases from tsconfig.json
      .for("webpack"), // And convert to webpack format
  },
  // ...
};

• Example for TSConfig

const { reuse } = require('alias-reuse');
const configPath = path.join(__dirname, 'configs/aliases.json');

module.exports = {
  compilerOptions: {
    paths: reuse()
      .from(configPath) // Import aliases from custom config
      .for("tsconfig"), // And convert to tsconfig format
  },
  // ...
};

• Example with custom root directory

const { reuse } = require('alias-reuse');
const rootPath = path.join(__dirname, 'root');
const configPath = path.join(__dirname, 'configs/aliases.json');

module.exports = {
  resolve: {
    alias: reuse()
      .from(configPath) // Import aliases from custom config
      .at(rootPath) // Set root directory
      .for("vite"), // And convert to vite format
  },
  // ...
};
