Is it impossible to set NODE_PATH in Typescript?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I used to work on my React app with ES6. By setting NODE_PATH='src', I could import things by using path starting from src folder. Recently, I migrated to Typescript, and I figured out Typescript doesn't support NODE_PATH. After some research, I found NODE_PATH can be replaced with baseUrl in tsconfig.json. However, the way works and doesn't work sometimes.



I researched more, and some people said it's not officially possible, so I have use relative paths. Is it true that setting NODE_PATh thing is not allowed in Typescript and any other way for that doesn't exist?
