I'm trying to make changes to module resolver so that instead of needing to use relative paths like

import config from '../../../config.cjs'

i could use

import config from '@root/config'

loader.js:

import { join } from 'node:path';
import { pathToFileURL } from 'url';

export async function resolve(specifier, context, defaultResolve) {
  if (specifier.startsWith('@root')) {
    const root = process.cwd()

    const newSpecifier = pathToFileURL(join(root, specifier.slice(5))).href;

    return defaultResolve(newSpecifier, context, defaultResolve)
  }
  
  return defaultResolve(specifier, context, defaultResolve)
}

i use

node --import ./loader.js --trace-warnings index.js

to run the project

i get the error

node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:839
  throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(packageName, fileURLToPath(base), null);
        ^
