+`node-sass` also supports the `SASS_PATH` variable.
+
+To use imports relative to a path you specify, and from `node_modules` without adding the `~` prefix, you can add a [`.env` file](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/docusaurus/docs/adding-custom-environment-variables.md#adding-development-environment-variables-in-env) at the project root with the variable `SASS_PATH=node_modules:src`. To specify more directories you can add them to `SASS_PATH` separated by a `:` like `path1:path2:path3`.
+
+If you set `SASS_PATH=node_modules:src`, this will allow you to do imports like
+```scss
+@import 'styles/colors'; // assuming a styles directory under src/, where _colors.scss partial file exists.
+@import 'nprogress/nprogress'; // importing a css file from the nprogress node module
+```

 > **Note:** If you're using Flow, override the [module.file_ext](https://flow.org/en/docs/config/options/#toc-module-file-ext-string) setting in your `.flowconfig` so it'll recognize `.sass` or `.scss` files. You will also need to include the `module.file_ext` default settings for `.js`, `.jsx`, `.mjs` and `.json` files.
