If you're using ts-loader, you might have to synchronize your webpack alias/resolve settings with your paths setting in your tsconfig.json.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "baseUrl": "./",
        "paths": {
            "Hello": ["src/components/Hello"]
        }
    }
}

If you're using awesome-typescript-loader, then webpack can figure this out automatically from the paths setting in your tsconfig.json, as per the status on this issue from the repo. That way, you don't need to duplicate the same information in your Webpack alias field.
