I have a NX/vite based monorepo and want to use path alias to avoid long relative imports.

I configured my tsconfig.json for each packages and then installed the vite plugin tsconfigPaths() for reading paths from tsconfig.json.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ... 
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    "paths": {
      "@components/*": ["components/*"],
      "@constants/*": ["constants/*"],
      "@pages/*": ["pages/*"]
    }
  },
  ...
}

On Nx's official document for configuring vite /recipes/vite/configure-vite, they required to use nxViteTsPaths() plugin, but I failed to find enough doc or source code from /plugin-registry.

Could anyone share insights on what additional functionality this nxViteTsPaths() does?
