export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react()],
  resolve: {
    alias: [{ find: "@", replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, "src")}]
  }
})

The configuration above is for Vite, a build tool for modern web development projects.

1.resolve: { alias: [{ find: "@", replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, "src")}]}**: This part is defining an alias for the module resolution system. In simpler terms, it allows you to use @ as a shorthand alias for the path src. So, instead of writing a full path like import SomeComponent from "../../src/components/SomeComponent", you can use import SomeComponent from "@/components/SomeComponent".

• find: "@" means when Vite encounters the @ symbol in an import statement, it will replace it with the specified path.
• replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, "src") provides the actual path to replace @. path.resolve(__dirname, "src") constructs an absolute path to the "src" directory based on the current file's directory (__dirname).

We have added the following setting in our tsconfig.json file under the compiler options to enable us to use our alias in our app:

"paths": {
    "@/*": ["./src/*"]
 },
