was wondering what is the significance of “@“ in the import.
For example: Import Container from “@core/material...”
Is it a pathing thing? Like ../ or ./?

1Could indicate an npm “scope” https://docs.npmjs.com/about-scopes – Felix Kling Feb 10 '20 at 20:14

the @ will search through the node_modules rather than having to do something like ../../../../core/material
so the @ points to the root of the project rather than the current directory.
This thread explains it further: What does the @ symbol do in javascript imports?

Not always. It could indicate a scoped package. https://stackoverflow.com/a/40186344/894067 – Charlie Fish Feb 11 '20 at 16:20
