+### Alias
+
+Rewrite your urls with alias, this is useful when it's hard to change url paths of your input files, for example, when you're using some css / sass files in another package (bootstrap, ratchet, font-awesome, etc.).
+
+#### Possible Options
+
+css-loader's `alias` follows the same syntax as webpack's `resolve.alias`, you can see the details at: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolve-alias
+
+**webpack.config.js**
+```js
+{
+  test: /\.scss$/,
+  use: [{
+    loader: "style-loader"
+  }, {
+    loader: "css-loader",
+    options: {
+      alias: {
+        "../fonts/bootstrap": "bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap"
+      }
+    }
+  }, {
+    loader: "sass-loader",
+    options: {
+      includePaths: [
+        path.resolve("./node_modules/bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets")
+      ]
+    }
+  }]
+}
