Angular2 - root relative imports : <p>I have a problem with imports in angular2/typescript. I'd like to use imports with some root like 'app/components/calendar', instead only way I am able to use is something like:</p>

<pre><code>//app/views/order/order-view.ts
import {Calendar} from '../../components/calendar 
</code></pre>

<p>where Calendar is defined like:</p>

<pre><code>//app/components/calendar.ts
export class Calendar {
}
</code></pre>

<p>and this obviously gets much worse the lower in hierarchy you go, deepest is '../../..' but it is still very bad and brittle. Is there any way how to use paths relative to project root? </p>

<p>I am working in Visual Studio, and relative imports seem to be the only thing that makes VS able to recognize these imports.y</p>
