How to make webpack 2 understand imports from the project root?

Question

webpack

Good afternoon!
I decided to try switching to webpack 2, but I can't figure out how to implement imports from the project root.
In the first version, I did it using the babel plugin babel-root-slash-import
Import looks like this import UserService from '/core/user/user.module';
Webpack 2 swears at

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve

webpack settings:

"use strict";

const path              = require('path');
const webpack           = require('webpack');
const NgAnnotatePlugin  = require('ng-annotate-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    context: __dirname + '/app',
    
    entry: {
        app:    './bootstrap.js',
        vendor: './vendor.js'
    },
    output: {
        chunkFilename: '[name].[chunkhash].js',
        path: __dirname + '/dist',
        filename: `[name].[chunkhash].js`,
        publicPath: '/crm/'

    plugins: [
        new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin(),

        new NgAnnotatePlugin({

    resolve: {
        root: path.resolve(__dirname, 'app'),

    resolveLoader: {

Try adding a resolve.alias section:

resolve: {
    alias: {
      core: path.resolve(__dirname, 'core'),
    }
  },

Then you can call modules likeimport SomeModule from 'core/modules/SomeModule';
