I'm trying to run a typescript project in production mode. The code is here on Github

• Running npm run start:dev is running the server up on http://localhost:3000/


• Running npm run build is generating the dist folder

The package.json has the definition of @server defined using module alias:

_moduleAliases: {

  @server: dist/Server

}

The @server is defined under compilerOptions.paths.@server in tsconfig.json too!

The index.ts imports app from @server;

import app from '@server';

When I run npm start - it does nothing

So I tried node dist/index.js --env=production and it throws the following error:

Error: Cannot find module '@server'

Why is the node not detecting this module alias?
