Short paths

[whyboris]

Works for VS Code but not when you npm start

Tested again today - no success, same problems as before see writeup

🤷‍♂️ I think the service worker causes some problems I wouldn't otherwise have 🤔

Tested again today (Angular updated several times since before), still doesn't work

[whyboris]

Merged main which has Angular 20 😅 and npm start still doesn't work with @pipes shortcut

I wonder if it's never meant to work: https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#paths

Note that this feature does not change how import paths are emitted by tsc, so paths should only be used to inform TypeScript that another tool has this mapping and will use it at runtime or when bundling.

Link for research: angular/angular-cli#1465 (comment)

Looks like you need baseUrl too.
Probably need to add this to all the tsconfig.---.json files in the repository. I tried many variations but nothing works still 🤦

🤷 frustrating -- still doesn't work. I'll keep the PR open in case someone figures something out 🤞

I'll re-visit this in 2027 (or earlier if someone comes up with a solution ❤️ ) 😄
