+---
+I've been working on some more frontend code recently, and got quite tired of my import paths looking like this
+
+```
+../../foo/bar/etc
+```
+
+How horrible! If I ever change directory structure, things are liable to break. That won't do!
+
+The internet suggested adding the following to my `tsconfig.json`
+
+```json
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "paths": {
+      "@/*": ["./src/*"]
+    }
+  },
+
+```
+
+This resolved the squiggly lines in my editor, but my build was still failing. For some context - I'm using Tauri and Vite here.
+
+It turns out, the issue was due to Vite. In order to support these aliases, we also need to add some config to `vite.config.ts`
+
+First, install a plugin
+
+```
+npm install --save-dev vite-tsconfig-paths
+```
+
+Then, add it to your config
+
+```typescript
+import tsconfigPaths from "vite-tsconfig-paths";
+
+export default defineConfig(async () => ({
+  plugins: [tsconfigPaths()], // I imagine you have other plugins
+
+  // you probably have a bunch more here too
+});
+```
+
+All done! My import paths are nice now
