webpack-plugin-alias-resolver

🔧 A Webpack plugin that rewrites alias-based imports (like @/) into relative paths during build time. Useful for TypeScript or Babel outputs that retain unresolved alias paths.

📦 Installation

npm install --save-dev @marcuwynu23/webpack-plugin-alias-resolver

Webpack is a peer dependency. Ensure it's installed:

npm install --save-dev webpack

🚀 Usage

Add to your webpack.config.js:

import AliasResolverPlugin from "@marcuwynu23/webpack-plugin-alias-resolver";

export default {
  // ...your config
  plugins: [
    new AliasResolverPlugin({
      alias: "@/",
      baseDir: "js-generated", // folder where alias actually resolves to
      targetDir: "js-generated", // folder to scan and fix
      fileTypes: ["js", "ts", "json"], // file extensions to rewrite
    }),
  ],
};

⚙️ Options

✨ What It Does

This plugin searches files inside targetDir and rewrites lines like:

import { thing } from "@/utils/helper";

➡️ into:

import { thing } from "../../utils/helper";

This is useful when you're compiling code and the final output still contains unresolved aliases.

💡 Example Project Structure

project/
├── src/
│   └── utils/helper.ts
├── js-generated/
│   └── utils/helper.js       ← compiled output
├── webpack.config.js

🧪 TypeScript Support

This plugin is fully written in TypeScript and ships with type declarations.
