var _           = require('lodash');                          // Ok too, npm module
var myComponent = require('../../../components/myComponent'); // Oh, what is that??

After:

var path        = require('path');                             // Ok, node module
var _           = require('lodash');                           // Ok too, npm module
var myComponent = require('^components/myComponent');         // Yea, much better
