How do I set up absolute imports in React?

To set up absolute imports in React, you can configure your project using either Babel or TypeScript. Which one are you using?

I'm using Create React App with TypeScript.

Great! In that case, you can set up absolute imports by adding a baseUrl in your tsconfig.json file. You can set it to src like this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src"
  }
}

Do I need to restart the server after making this change?

Yes, you should restart your development server for the changes to take effect. After that, you can import modules using absolute paths!

Can you give me an example of how to import a component using absolute imports?

Sure! If you have a component in src/components/MyComponent.tsx, you can import it like this:

import MyComponent from 'components/MyComponent';
