Create-react-app: ES6 Import Statement Without Relative Paths

[cguedes]

Is it planned to add import statements without relative paths (webpack) feature to create-react-app?

You can found info regarding this here and here.

With this we can do

import Header from 'components/Header';
import Grid from 'components/Grid';
import TransactionForm from 'containers/TransactionForm';
import TransactionSummary from 'containers/TransactionSummary';
import * as AppActions from 'actions';

instead of

import Header from '../../components/Header';
import Grid from '../../components/Grid';
import TransactionForm from '../TransactionForm';
import TransactionSummary from '../TransactionSummary';
import * as AppActions from '../../actions';

We will likely support this via #476 but you would have to add the current directory to NODE_PATH yourself. We want to keep this explicit because it is quite prone to breakage.

Here is an example: https://github.com/reactjs/redux/issues/1681#issuecomment-216508641. We don’t want people to have issues like this so we won’t enable it by default.
