SCSS Import Relative to Root

• If you are using Angular CLI, take a look at Global styles, "stylePreprocessorOptions" option specifically.
• For webpack, you can configure includePaths in sassLoader plugin configuration.
• And it’s similar for gulp builds, you pass includePaths to the sass plugin.

Whatever your build tool is, sass will treat those paths as root, so you can import them directly, so with:

includePaths: ["anywhere/on/my/disk"]

you can just @import 'styles' instead of @import 'anywhere/on/my/disk/styles'.
