Passing options to js compiler on meteor

We are adding a jsconfig file to the root of a meteor project to add short hands form imports.

For instance instead of import UserMutations from '../../api/Users/mutations'; we would like to write import UserMutations from '@api/Users/mutations';

This is an example jsconfig file

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@api/*": ["api/*"],
    }
  }
}

When we add this our short hand imports recognized as npm packages that are missing.

Any help is appreciated

Meteor's build system uses babel under the hood. So, you can solve your task with a plugin 'module-resolver':

Install npm package:

meteor npm i babel-plugin-module-resolver

Create .babelrc at the root of your meteor project:

{
  "plugins": [
    [
      "module-resolver",
      {
        "alias": {
          "@api": "./imports/api"
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Then import

imports
api
   users
      index.js
      utils.js
...

import { Users } from '@api/users';
import { SomeUtils } from '@api/users/utils.js';
