Is there any possibility to avoid multiple ../ when we are importing a function?

Question

I want to avoid this thing at importing a function

const ApiError = require('../../../../classes/ErrorClass');

Is any possibility to use,I don't know Ex:

require('mypath/ErrorClass')

If I have 11 imports I don't want to have something like this

const ApiError = require('../../../../classes/ErrorClass');
const ex= require('../../../classes/ApiClass');
const ex1= require('../../../../utils/utils');
const ex2= require('../../../etc/etc');
const ex3= require('../../../../../etc/etc');
const ex4= require('../../../../etc/etc');
const ex5= require('../../../../etc/etc');
const ex6= require('../../../../etc/etc');

Thank you!

Yes, you can do it with package.json. Imagine you have the following structure:

my-app/
├─ src/
│  ├─ index.js
│  ├─ node_modules/
│  ├─ dir/
│  │  ├─ nested/
│  │  │  ├─ nestedMod.js
│  ├─ function/
│  │  ├─ myMod.js
│  │  ├─ myMod3.js
│  │  ├─ myMod2.js
├─ package.json

You have to add the imports field in package.json

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "imports": {
    "#nestedMod": "./src/dir/nested/nestedMod.js",
    "#myFunc": "./src/function/myMod.js",
    "#myFunc2": "./src/function/myMod2.js",
    "#myFuncs/*": "./src/function/*.js"
  }
}

then you can do:

const nestedMod = require('#nestedMod')
const myFunc = require('#myFunc')
const myFunc2 = require('#myFunc2')
const myFunc3 = require('#myFuncs/myMod3')

P.S.: Only works in Node
