Can do, is it a separate tip or maybe included in the above? Need to understand why you add them in aurelia.json, I think it’s so short paths can be used in the templates? Not sure if this is the same for webpack as I haven’t tried yet.

This is meant, so that the bundler knows where the find the dependencies, since the paths by themselves by default don’t exist. The tsconfig.json setting is purely meant for TypeScript so not related to the bundler. How this works for Webpack? No idea, typically you’d have a resolve section where you’d define the aliases, but maybe thats meanwhile already automatically done for TS specific builds.
