ESLint issue when importing assets from public folder

[Tsury]

In the boilerplate code, there's this import:

import viteLogo from '/vite.svg';

I get this ESLint issue:
Unable to resolve path to module '/vite.svg'.eslint[import/no-unresolved](https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import/blob/v2.28.0/docs/rules/no-unresolved.md)

Any idea how to fix it?

My config:

const path = require('path');

try this

settings: {
  'import/resolver': {
    alias: {
      map: [
        ['', './public']  // <-- this line
      ],
      extensions: ['.js', '.jsx']
    }
  }
}

Just tried it, didn't help sadly. Seems like it breaks all of the imports, including the problematic one...

You need to install this plugin eslint-import-resolver-alias to make the config above work.

This worked for me for eslint, how to I tell VSCode to point to ./public as well?

I initially attempted to configure eslint-plugin-import-x but encountered several resolver configuration challenges. After trying various settings combinations, I switched to eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort which provides reliable import sorting functionality with minimal configuration overhead.
