Description

Hi,

I'm trying to configure eslint with the airbnb config for my react native project.
To have nicer import statements I've a package.json in my src folder in which i declare a new 'src' package so I can have import like:

`import ExamForm from "src/containers/examFormContainer";`

and not like:

`import ExamForm from "../../../../containers/examFormContainer";`

but can't find how configure eslint-plugin-import
to not throw the "src should be listed in the project's dependencies".
How I can configure it?

this is the sub folder's package.json file
```
{
"name":"src",
"version":"0.1.0"
}
```

Thanks,
Frank

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported error with eslint-plugin-import, ESLint, and the nested src/package.json configuration described in the issue. Trace the rule that reports that src should be listed in the project's dependencies; done means the intended import is handled correctly or the supported configuration and limitation are documented, with a regression test if the project has one.
