在电子中使用NODE_PATH来映射src /中的文件夹作为模块

Question

I'm trying to set NODE_PATH on my electron project to NODE_PATH=src but it is not working.

The idea is to be able to require any folder inside src by it's name.

So in the case of the folder structure

src/
--main.js
--components/
----index.js

from main.js I should be able to use

import components from "components"

instead of

import components from "./components"

---

I've already tried setting it in start script :

"start": "cross-env NODE_PATH=src electron-forge start"

as well as in a .env file to no avail.

I'm sharing here what has worked for me:-

At the entry point of your application add this line:

global.require.main.paths.push('./src');

The above is equivalent to to setting the NODE_PATH variable. Make sure this line is added before any of your code is executed.
