A babel plugin to rewrite (map, alias) directories as different directories during the Babel process. It's particularly useful when you have files you don't want to use with relative paths (especially in big projects).

Compatible Babel 6.x

Instead of having long relative paths inside your code, use custom names to easily import your code.

// Instead of using this
import MyUtilFn from '../../../../utils/MyUtilFn';
// or this (because in another file for example)
import MyUtilFn from '../utils/MyUtilFn'

// always use this:
import MyUtilFn from 'utils/MyUtilFn';

Note: It also works with the require statement (var MyUtilFn = require('utils/MyUtilFn');).

Install the plugin

$ npm install --save babel babel-plugin-module-alias

Specify the plugin in your .babelrc and specify your custom alias mapping

Then, the recommended way of using it is by using the file .babelrc to setup the configuration for Babel.
