Kibana 7.2.0 source code import path problem

[tony21177]

Hi,
I am studying Kibana source code.
I encounter a confusing problem about import path problem.
the source file link is https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/7.2/src/legacy/core_plugins/kibana/public/management/index.js
import { management, SidebarNav, MANAGEMENT_BREADCRUMB } from 'ui/management';

But I can find the ui folder in the relative path and the node_modules folder.
Why

Hi @tony21177,

The ui/* is just an alias to another folder, e.g. see here where it points to.

Best,
Oleg

Hi,azasypkin
I find ui_export_defaults.js

elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/legacy/ui/ui_exports/ui_export_defaults.js

line 30

does the import has to do with the webpack alias setting?

By the way, I look up from the webpack documents for import path explanation of Webpack

Module Resolution | webpack

Thank you so much!
