Failed to Compile w/ Absolute Import Paths v1.2.0

Hi,

I followed the quick start and terminal commands instructions from the Readme and am getting a failed to compile error due modules being unable to resolve. When I change the import statements to use relative paths the modules do resolve:

For example, with absolute path: import "assets/css/material-dashboard-react.css?v=1.2.0"; // Compile Error

Changing to relative path: import "./assets/css/material-dashboard-react.css?v=1.2.0"; // Module is resolved properly

I saw the .env file does specify the NODE_PATH environment variable, but cannot get absolute paths to work on import statements;

Thanks!

Hello @marciandmnd ,

You can solve this issue by changing the start script from:

"start": "react-scripts start",

to

"start": "NODE_PATH=./src react-scripts start",

and also you will need to install cross-env globally on your machine

npm install --g cross-env

A better solution is to create a jsconfig.json file with this code inside it:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "paths": {
      "*": ["src/*"]
    }
  }
}

All of our React products will have this file in the next updates.
