A Node.js library that lets you register aliases for directories and custom module paths, eliminating long relative import paths like '../../../../some/module'. It supports both CommonJS and ES Modules via package.json configuration or programmatic registration.

Use cases

• replace long relative import paths in node projects
• register custom module directories like private node_modules
• configure import aliases in package.json
• use path aliases with es modules in node
• resolve @-prefixed module aliases at runtime

When to choose

• your Node.js codebase suffers from deeply nested relative imports
• you want zero-config aliases defined in package.json
• you need custom module directories acting like node_modules

When to avoid

• you're using a bundler like webpack, Vite, or TypeScript paths which handle aliases natively
• you're publishing an npm package where alias patching can cause caveats
• you only target Deno or Bun which have built-in path mapping
