Add "/src" to webpack resolve.modulesDirectories?

Feature request

Hey,

Since CRA have a src/ folder that should contains all the source files, we could add this config to webpack: (according to the doc)

resolve: {
modulesDirectories: ['src', 'node_modules']

We would have cleaner import paths.

Example: let's say our app structure is this

/src
---actions/
---components/
------MyComponent.js
---containers/

We could import myComponent in any files like this:
import MyComponent from 'components/MyComponent'
instead of having a relative path to import it depending on where we are.

What do you think guys?

Please could you search the issues and pull requests for "absolute imports"? There have been many discussions about this. Some of them are ongoing.

Oops, sorry didn't search right. Thanks

No worries! In short: this is something we want but not through Webpack config because this breaks any other tooling (IDEs, Flow, Node, etc). So instead we're likely to recommend using src/node_modules for this (you can use symlinks for a nicer folder name) once we fix a few issues with this approach.
