How to use alias in webpack to override a dependency already existing in node_modules?

In Webpack 4,

I want to place my rsg-components instead of the one in node_modules.

So react-styleguidist will import my version instead.

Apparently resolve.alias doesn't take precedence over node_modules, is there a way to do so without forking react-stylguidist ?

You can use resolve-modules.
Just add the directory where your module is before node_modules.

From the documentation:

If you want to add a directory to search in that takes precedence over node_modules/:

modules: [path.resolve(__dirname, "src"), "node_modules"]
