Typescript Establishing Absolute Imports Node

I built a project in node using TS, and I'm trying to implement absolute path for imports.

However, when I run the project it begins failing saying.

[1] Error: Cannot find module 'src/common/logger'
[1] Require stack:
[1] - C:\...xyz\Workspaces\PROJECT\dist\index.js

When I switch 'src/common/logger' to './common/logger' it proceeds to point to other ones that absolute path imports.

I figure its obviously something wrong with my TS config, but I can't seem to see where I am messing up.

Ultimately I want the imports to become 'common/xyz' and 'db/xyz'

My project directory follows this flow:

├───tsconfig.json
├───node_modules
├───dist // output location
└───src
     |───common
     |───db
     └───index.ts

{
  "compilerOptions": {

    /* Language and Environment */
    "target": "es2021",

    /* Modules */
    "module": "commonjs",
    "rootDir": "./src",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "src/*": ["./src/*"],
      "/*": [ "./src/*" ],
    },
    "outDir": "./dist"
  }
}

My thought is that the issue is how I set up the tsconfig. I tried looking through the documentation, but I clearly am not understanding the paths section. I've tried several changes to the paths, but still can't seem to get it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
