Projects often evolve into complex, nested directory structures. As a result, import paths may become longer and more confusing, which can negatively affect the code’s appearance and make it more difficult to understand where imported code originates from.

Using path aliases can solve the problem by allowing the definition of imports that are relative to pre-defined directories. This approach not only resolves issues with understanding import paths, but it also simplifies the process of code movement during refactoring.
