Is it possible to prefix absolute autoimports with some symbol?

Hi!

We use absolute imports (relative to project folder path) and we prefix all absolute imports with "/". Our typical import looks like:

import {WonderfulService} from '/src/services/wonderful_service.js';

This doesn't work well with Webstorm autoimport feature (at least I wasn't able to configure it correctly). When Webstorm autoimports this WonderfulService it adds the following import:

import {WonderfulService} from 'src/services/wonderful_service.js';

Like expected one but without leading slash.

It is possible to configure Webstorm to prefix all autoimports with slash?

path prefixes are normally defined with path aliases (Typescript path mappings, webpack aliases, etc.). Not sure if specifying a slash as path alias works though, didn't try this

Thank you! Specifying a slash as alias doesn't work good (import path is prepended with 2 slashes), but I created alias "/src" that works fine!

alias: {
  '/src': path.resolve(__dirname, './src/'),
},
