Importing non "main" modules? about ts-monorepo

[NiGhTTraX]

Hi @momsse, this is answered in #53. The TL;DR is:

• you can add a new path alias before the "main" one, like so:

"paths": {
  // This need to be first, so index imports can be matched by the next alias.
  // You can add or omit the `src` part here, depending on your preference.
  //                                 V
  "@nighttrax/foo/*": ["packages/foo/*"],

  "@nighttrax/*": ["packages/*/src"]
}

• doing the above will break publishing, unless you:
  • use the aliases during building as well,
  • publish from within the dist/ folder, after you've copied your package.json there.
• using imports like this makes library APIs more brittle, as changes in the folder structure can break consumers.
