Avoiding relative paths in Angular CLI

Per this comment, you can add your application source via paths in tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...,  
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      ...,
      "@app/*": ["app/*"],
      "@components/*": ["components/*"]
    }
  }
}

Then you can import absolutely from app/ or components/ instead of relative to the current file:

import {TextInputConfiguration} from "@components/configurations";

Note: baseUrl must be specified if paths is.
