It does not currently support multiple paths. Would that be something you want me to add in this PR?

Definitely, we want to have feature parity with how Browserify treats NODE_PATH (which is likely how Node treats it, but would be great if you could check the source).

I couldn't find exactly where browserify handles NODE_PATH, but this test seems to suggest they support NODE_PATH the way node does.

I've added support for multiple paths. I moved the logic to paths.js. I'm not sure if this is the right place, but it seemed to make the most sense so that I don't duplicate the logic in the prod and dev config.

I have not tested this on windows myself, but I did test on my mac that local paths resolve when build and testing.

Glad to see this added to a milestone! Any changes that need to before made before it could be merged?

Can you please verify that newly added testing with Jest also works?

I cherry-picked this via afe25df, 6e94bd8, 82066ac.
Verified that Jest works and added a few tweaks in c71337f.
I will close the PR but I’ll make sure to credit this feature to you in the changelog.

Thank you so much!

Out in 0.4.0. Thanks again!

It is really confusing here how to use this feature. Could someone give an example of exactly what you need to enter into your command line to make the sample App run with this line:
import App from './App'
changed to:
import App from 'App'

Tried a lot of variations of things like:
NODE_PATH=./template/src && npm run test
But everything I can think of still has the sample test failing.

If you use Bash on OS X or Linux, this should work:

NODE_PATH=./src npm start
NODE_PATH=./src npm run build
NODE_PATH=./src npm test

If you use Cmd on Windows:

NODE_PATH=./src&&npm start
NODE_PATH=./src&&npm run build
NODE_PATH=./src&&npm test

Note that lack of whitespace on Windows is intentional.

Does this help?

(I understand it’s frustrating this feature isn’t documented. It was added as a stopgap measure so we’d prefer not to advertise it widely. Ideally we’ll figure out some different solution to this before 1.0.)

Yes, this was really helpful. We ended up trying about 20 different variants on NODE_PATH= ? before stumbling on the answer. I can understand your desire not to advertise widely, but seriously, relative paths are a pain… I’m bringing over 33k lines of code from a previous project based on angular, and faced with updating the paths of every single import in every file. You can imagine the task.

Oh I can imagine. :P
If you'd like to do a PR let's add this to Usage Guide.

When I run NODE_PATH=./src npm start

import App from './components/App'; works

import App from 'src/components/App'; doesn't work

Am I missing something?

In order to make that import you would need to have NODE_PATH=. npm start.
Because you said ./src the import would just be components/App.

I personally recommend putting this in your package.json.

"start": "NODE_PATH=. react-scripts start",
