💻 Code

import { APP } from '@/constants/index.js'
import express from 'express';

const app = express()

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello World')
})

app.listen(APP.PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on port ${APP.PORT}`)
})

🙁 Actual behavior

dist/main.js

import { APP } from '@/constants/index.js';
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.send('Hello World');
});
app.listen(APP.PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running on port ${APP.PORT}`);
});
//# sourceMappingURL=main.js.map

🙂 Expected behavior

import { APP } from './constants/index.js';
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.send('Hello World');
});
app.listen(APP.PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Server is running on port ${APP.PORT}`);
});
//# sourceMappingURL=main.js.map

This is working as intended. TypeScript does not rewrite import paths. Path aliases are meant to represent what your runtime supports, not a way to rewrite imports.
