use module aliases vs relative paths

[DukeManh]

When the project grows deeper, more ../ are required in the relative import paths to import modules so this configs TS path aliases, that map to certain absolute paths.

Search tests will fail while I'm updating ES

Nice improvement

(nit): I personally prefer using like @/components/* instead of @components/*. So it doesn't get confused if we have a external package like @components

[cindyorangis]

I agree with @Kevan-Y here. I also use the @/components/* for module aliases

We'd need to fix #3690 first to pass eslint.

@DukeManh do you want this in before tonight (end of Hacktoberfest)? If so, what does it need?

[DukeManh]

@humphd, I needed to add 'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended' for eslint to pass but then found out there is more work to do in #3690 if I make that change.

This looks good!

The only nit-picky thing that might be considered, that some projects prefer the scoped package inports to be between the "traditional" library imports and the relative imports for readability reasons.
