Storybook can't resolve aliases

Describe the bug Storybook can’t resolve aliases. The build crashes.

To Reproduce

import Foo from "components/foo" => crash
import Foo from "../../components/foo" => ok

Expected behavior Storybook should build files with aliases imports.

Code snippets My storybook config:

module.exports = {
  stories: ["../**/stories.tsx"],
  webpackFinal: (config) => {
    return {
      ...config,
      module: {
        ...config.module,
        rules: [
          {
            test: /\.(ts|js)x?$/,
            exclude: /node_modules/,
            use: { loader: "babel-loader" },
          },
          { test: /\.css$/, use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"] },
          { test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/, use: ["file-loader"] },
          {
            test: /\.svg$/,
            use: [
              {
                loader: "babel-loader",
              },
              {
                loader: "react-svg-loader",
                options: {
                  jsx: true,
                },
              },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    };
  },
  typescript: {
    check: false,
    checkOptions: {},
    reactDocgen: "react-docgen-typescript",
    reactDocgenTypescriptOptions: {

      propFilter: (prop) =>

    },
  },
};

.storybook/main.js

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  core: {
    builder: 'webpack5',
  },
  stories: ['../src/**/*.stories.tsx'],
  addons: ['@storybook/addon-links', '@storybook/addon-essentials'],
  webpackFinal: async (config) => {
    config.resolve.alias = {
      '@': path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'src'),
    };

    return config;
  },
};

allows for aliased imports such import BaseWrapper from '@/components/base/BaseWrapper';

Ok I found the solution. Just use “tsconfig-paths-webpack-plugin”.

The config now looks like this:

const { TsconfigPathsPlugin } = require("tsconfig-paths-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  stories: ["../**/stories.tsx"],

  webpackFinal: async (config) => {
    [].push.apply(config.resolve.plugins, [
      new TsconfigPathsPlugin({ extensions: config.resolve.extensions }),
    ]);

    return {
      ...config,
      module: {
        ...config.module,
        rules: [
          {
            test: /\.(ts|js)x?$/,
            exclude: /node_modules/,
            use: { loader: "babel-loader" },
          },
          { test: /\.css$/, use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"] },
          { test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/, use: ["file-loader"] },
          {
            test: /\.svg$/,
            use: [
              {
                loader: "babel-loader",
              },
              {
                loader: "react-svg-loader",
                options: {
                  jsx: true,
                },
              },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    };
  },
};

I would recommend to officially support this plugin for typescript users, it saves so much time.
