Rollup Import Alias

Provides directory aliases for es2015 import statements.

Installation

npm install rollup-plugin-import-alias --save-dev

Usage

In rollup.plugins

var importAlias = require('rollup-plugin-import-alias');

importAlias({
    Paths: {
        TypeChecks: '../Common/TypeChecks',
	Framework: './V1.0/Framework'					
    },
    Extensions: ['js']
});

In your modules

import isArray from 'TypeChecks/isArray';

This import would actually look for file ../Common/TypeChecks/isArray

So? Why Care

As I've worked more with ES2015 import statements I've noticed absolute paths being used to avoid "import hell". This is great, but creates issues when copying files into other subdirectories that would break those paths. With this super simple utility those absolute paths can be correctly re-mapped.
