title: Webpack resolve.alias does not work with typescript?
body: <p>I try to shorten my imports in typescript</p>
  
  <p>from <code>import {Hello} from "./components/Hello";</code></p>
  
  <p>to <code>import {Hello} from "Hello";</code></p>
  
  <p>For that I found out you can use <code>resolve.alias</code> in webpack thus I configured that part as following</p>
  
  <pre><code>resolve: {
      root: path.resolve(__dirname),
      alias: {
          Hello: "src/components/Hello"
      },
      extensions: ["", ".ts", ".tsx", ".js"]
  },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Webpack builds, and the output bundle.js works. However typescript's intellisense complain it <code>cannot find the module</code></p>
  
  <p>So my question is whether or not webpack's resolve.alias works with typescript?</p>
  
  <p>I found following <a href="https://github.com/s-panferov/awesome-typescript-loader/issues/34" rel="noreferrer">issue</a> but there's no answer to it.</p>
