How do I configure absolute paths for imports in TypeScript based React Native apps?

Answer 1

For anyone who uses TypeScript and just wants to use import with absolute paths without aliases.

Assuming all of your code folders are inside of src.

Insert "baseUrl": "src" in compilerOptions object inside tsconfig.json.

Now you can use absolute paths in imports.
