Before I continue, I have tried the following solutions:
- Git: Babel plugin root import package: Plugin doesn't seem to work alongside jest
- SO: Configuring for babel jest
- SO: Create own babel plugin
- Webpack aliasing is another solution however we don't use webpack
A project was handed over to me recently which utilizes relative import statements that can get pretty long and obscure (e.g. import * as stuff from '../../../../../utilities/stuff'). I'd like to simplify our import statements using the project's root directory in this fashion: import * as stuff from '~/utilities/stuff.
My understanding of the packages, dependencies and configurations is still in its infancy. It looks like we use babel for transpiling, however I don't see a core babel package - only babel-jest and babel-polyfill.
Here is our package.json:
{
"name": "placeholder",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"animejs": "^2.2.0",
"babel-polyfill": "^6.26.0",
"classnames": "^2.2.5",
"html-to-react": "^1.3.0",
"htmlparser2-react": "0.0.4",

"react-dom": "^16.0.0",
"react-redux": "^5.0.6",

},
"devDependencies": {
"babel-jest": "^20.0.3",
"enzyme": "^2.9.1",
"jest-enzyme": "^3.8.2",
"materialize-css": "^0.100.2",
"moment": "^2.18.1",
"node-sass": "^4.5.3",
"node-sass-chokidar": "0.0.3",
"node-sass-magic-importer": "^5.0.0-alpha.6",
"react-docgen": "^2.18.0",
"react-scripts": "1.0.13",
"react-styleguidist": "^6.0.24",
"react-test-renderer": "^15.6.1",
"redux-mock-store": "^1.3.0",
"xhr-mock": "^1.9.1"
}
}
And .babelrc
{
"presets": ["react-app"],
"sourceMaps": true,
"retainLines": true
}
Our directory structure is as follows: <rootDir>/src where all js/jsx source files are contained within 'src'. This is the directory I'd like to configure to be the root (represented by a tilda (~)). Help would be greatly appreciated!
