-A [babel](http://babeljs.io) plugin to add a new resolver for your modules when compiling your code using Babel. The plugin allows you to add new "root" directories that contains your modules. It also allows you to setup custom alias which can also be directories or specific files, or even other npm modules.

 ## Description
 
-The reason of this plugin is to simplify the require/import paths in your project. Therefore, instead of using complex relative paths like `../../../../utils/my-utils`, you would be able to write `utils/my-utils`. It will allow you to work faster since you won't need to calculate how many levels of directory you have to go up before accessing the file.
