Feature: project path support.

[meChrisReed]

Using project paths make refactoring as your project scales much easier. I would like to add "src" and "public" to the paths searched with import statements.

In the configuration files of react-scripts.

[viankakrisna]

it's already supported (but not documented) feature for ./src via NODE_PATH=src in ./env or putting your code in src/node_modules
#1065

Yup! Per @viankakrisna's comment, you can set NODE_PATH=src in your .env file to achieve this effect.
We do not allow importing from outside of src/ so there is no need for supporting other locations as well (e.g. public/).

Let us know if you need help with anything else.
