I am trying to set BaseUrl to './src' in tsconfig.json. Though it works well with typescript, it is not working and breaking the app on ionic serve

@shyamal890,

We don't support this option. We are open to a well-tested PR that implements it, though.

What is the use case for this options?

Thanks,
Dan

@danbucholtz I find absolute url more enterprise friendly than relative urls as in a large app, as time passes things move around and this would break the import logic due to relative urls. Whereas in case of absolute urls only few urls would have to be changed.

Sounds good. It's something we'll consider long term but it's not on our roadmap for the next several months.

Thanks,
Dan

We decided this isn't on our roadmap for the next several months, so we're going to close this and revisit at a later date.

Thanks,
Dan

Cannot understand why you make this decision. Please think about the comercial, large project. It's is better using the non-relative path than the relative path.
on the other side, it dose not cost too much to implement this.

If enough people want this feature, we'll implement eventually. It's just not on our roadmap for the next few months. We are cracking down on issues. We are a small team and it is nearly impossible to stay on top of them. Our new policy is if we're not doing it soon, we close it by default.

Thanks,
Dan
