Resolving against an arbitrary directory

What is the current behavior?

Jest resolves against package main. There's a browser boolean that allows changing the resolution mechanism against the browser field, but I don't want to set that.

What is the expected behavior?

I believe it would be useful to have a more generic resolution mechanism included. Designed right, you could eliminate the current browser field with something more powerful. I would go with a field like this:

• resolveTo: <array> - Defaults to ["main"]. If set to ["src/", "main"] (clearly a path since there's a slash) it would try to resolve against src/ within package directory before using main as a fallback. This deprecates browser: <boolean>.

I'm not sure if I follow, but isn't the modulePaths what you're looking for?

[bebraw]

modulePaths would work but then I would have to spell out each path of a monorepo separately and maintain them by hand.

It would be enough if it was possible change resolution during development so that it would resolve against source over package.json main. browser boolean does that, but it's a little limited.

This will be solved through #2925, closing as duplicate.
