Vue 3 + Vite - Add Path Alias @ to Src in Vite Config
Tutorial built with Vue 3.2.45 and Vite 2.9.15
This is a super quick post to show how to configure a path alias to map the at symbol (@) to the project src folder in Vue 3 with Vite. The path alias enables import statements to be prefixed with @ (e.g. import { MyComponent } from '@/components';) and removes the need for long relative paths (e.g. import { MyComponent } from '../../../components';).
The way to do it is by adding the following config to your vite.config.js:
resolve: {
alias: {
'@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url))
}
}The alias is added under the resolve property of the config and maps the @ symbol to the src path using the fileURLToPath node utility function.
Example Vite Config with Path Alias @
This is an example Vue 3 vite.config.js file that includes a path alias @ to the project src directory.
import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'url';
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [vue()],
resolve: {
alias: {
'@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url))
}
}
});
