Encourage use of defined aliases in TSConfig/JSConfig through ESLint.

• Automatic imports by tsserver resolve to relative paths that can be normalized.
• It's easier to refactor by finding and replacing an absolute module path without worrying about crafting the regex for ../ and ./

• Node 14+

npm install --save-dev @limegrass/eslint-plugin-import-alias eslint

This plugin relies on an alias configuration in tsconfig.json, jsconfig.json, or a config with the same schema and a path given as aliasConfigPath in its rules settings. See the rules documentation for more detail.

The following is the most basic configuration. Check the rules documentation for further configuration.

// .eslintrc
{
    "plugins": ["@limegrass/import-alias"],
    "rules": {
        "@limegrass/import-alias/import-alias": "error"
    }
}

This configuration is also turned on automatically if you extend eslint:recommended.
