parcel v2 monorepos: proxy / alias not working

[csenio]

I have a monorepo setup with parcel v2 & yarn workspaces. Proxy and Aliases didn't work out of the box, so I thought I'd explain how. I got them to work in case anyone else needs it:

1. alias
   Couldn't get the native aliases or the "paths" section in tsconfig to work at all, instead I used a custom babelrc and https://github.com/tleunen/babel-plugin-module-resolver.

2. proxy
   proxyrc needs to be in the root of the monorepo (not the root of your proxy folder)

Couldn't get the native aliases

Did you put the alises in the subpackage's package.json and the npm package is actually installed in node_modules/foo in the monorepo root (because it was hoisted by Yarn)? This is a problem that I have run into myself

proxy

We should put that in the docs (or change it)...
