How do I specify the base file path to import files in Cypress.io?

I want to import my locale file locale/pages.js into a test so that I don't hardcode locale strings, but the locale file imports other things like constants using statements like:

import { PRODUCT_NAME } from 'config/general';

The config and locale directories are inside src directory, but cypress directory is at the project root. So to refer to the locale file, I have to specify from 'cypress/integration/test.spec.js' the relative path '../../src/locale/pages.js'. I would rather be able to use locale/pages.js, but at least this gets me access to the file. But at this point, the import of the config file fails.

How can I specify the base path for imports so that I don't have to worry about where the current file is relative to the file to be imported?

We may load js file by appending 'script' tag in DOM. Try the below code:

var script = document.createElement('script');          
script.src = PATH;
script.onload =  function(){
    FILE LOADED           
};
document.head.appendChild(script);
