How to set alias in configureWebpack in vuepress or vuejs?

I have set my configureWebpack parameter as below in config.js

configureWebpack: {
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            'alias': '/easym/imgs/'
        }
    }

},

My folder structure is as below

-/easym
--/.vuepress
--/imgs
---/Img1.jpeg

Now when I try to call using this alias ![Img1](~@alias/Img1.jpeg) I defined, I am getting an error

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@alias/Img1.jpeg' in '/home/user/git/easym/quiz/smallquizzes'

P.S- My image file is located at /easym/imgs/Img1.jpeg where /easym is my root folder

I found the issue related to the folder's path but using the following got it fixed.

const path = require('path')
module.exports = {
    configureWebpack: {
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        '@myassets': path.resolve(__dirname, 'assets/img')
      }
    }
  },
...
