NodeJS relative import using `@` - Module is not installed in WebStorm

I am working on a project created by others in Node.JS.

Noticed a pattern I've never used before. All the inside imports are used with @.

ex: import Config from '@config/config';

Where config is a file inside /src/config/config.js.

Now, it's working flowlessly but WebStorm keeps complain about Module is not installed and suggest me to Install @config/config as dev dependency. The real issue behind it is that WebStorm isn't able to autocomplete or help me in any other way regard those imports.

And how do I configure WebStorm to understand this?

Thanks!

Is there a webpack config file in the project? Does WebStorm know about it? See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34943631/path-aliases-for-imports-in-webstorm – Aurel Bílý Feb 25 '20 at 13:58
@AurelBílý no webpack here. it's only backend project with one route that doesn't serve anything to frontend – ET-CS Feb 25 '20 at 18:12
Is there any other config then? Is the code pre-processed by a framework? – Aurel Bílý Feb 25 '20 at 18:41
