Edit tsconfig.json file

Add the following code to the tsconfig.json file to resolve paths:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "~/*": [
        "./src/*"
      ]
    }
    // ...
  }
}

Create gatsby-node.ts file

Create a gatsby-node.ts file at the root of your project if it doesn’t already exist, and add the code below to the gatsby-node file so your app can resolve paths:

import * as path from "path"
 
export const onCreateWebpackConfig = ({ actions }) => {
  actions.setWebpackConfig({
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        "~/components": path.resolve(__dirname, "src/components"),
        "~/lib/utils": path.resolve(__dirname, "src/lib/utils"),
      },
    },
  })
}

Run the CLI

Run the nyxb init command to setup your project:

npx nyxb@latest init

Configure nyxbui.json

    </div>
