A TypeScript library that resolves Node.js module loading according to the paths mapping defined in tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json, at runtime or via API. It hooks into Node's module resolution so compiled or ts-node-executed code can use path aliases that Node would otherwise not find.

Use cases

• run node scripts that use tsconfig path aliases
• make ts-node resolve @-prefixed import paths
• register path mapping for mocha tests written in TypeScript
• resolve tsconfig paths at runtime via API
• avoid relative import paths in TypeScript projects

When to choose

• you use tsconfig paths aliases and run code with node or ts-node
• you need runtime module resolution matching your TypeScript path mapping
• you want a --require hook that works with any tool supporting preloading

When to avoid

• you use Webpack - use tsconfig-paths-webpack-plugin instead
• your bundler already resolves path aliases at build time
• you don't use tsconfig/jsconfig path mapping
