Description

What changes did you make? List all distinct problems that this PR addresses. Explain any relevant
motivation or context.

1. Add barrel files
2. Change relative imports to absolute imports using module-alias

Changes

• Barrel index.ts files on all folders that are imported
• Barrel files themselves use regular relative imports including file name
• All other imports use aliased barrel files (starting with @) even within the folder itself
• New root level aliases.ts file programmatically adds aliases, this file is imported relatively
• Also added to tsconfig.json to fix type hinting and jest.config.json because it uses its own aliases

Notes

• Feedback and Event Validators have conflicting exports so they are currently unchanged
• Because TypeScript already uses @types for special purposes, the alias for it is @customtypes
• Tests folder has one alias with subfolders instead of having aliases for each subfolder for better organization and because some names collide
• Similar thing with types folder for organization
• The api/ subfolders each have their own alias due to their heavy usage
• There are 3 points of entry: index.ts, ormconfig.ts, and Seeds.ts which each need to import the aliases because they are ran separately on different commands
• Aliases are created programmatically rather than in package.json because build paths differ once it is compiled (untested)

Type of Change

• Patch (non-breaking change/bugfix)
• Minor (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Major (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as
  expected)
• Documentation (A change to a README/description)
• Continuous Integration/DevOps Change (Related to deployment steps, continuous integration
  workflows, linting, etc.)
• Other: Style change
