Auto generate index files to reduce boiler plate code.
Use case: commonjs require-all() type imports for ES6 modules
npm install @ibrokethat/auto-index
// add the following to .gitignore
auto.index.js
// assume an app structure of
app/
entities/
media.js
user.js
etc...
server.js
// set appPath in your config.yaml, json, etc
appPath: app
// create a file to indicate use of index generation
// the filename contains a reference to the export type of the modules
// to be indexed
touch app/entities/auto.index.named
OR
touch app/entities/auto.index.default
// at the very top of server.js
import '@ibrokethat/auto-index';
// then elsewhere
import * as entities from './entities/auto.index';
// entities is now an object containing the exports of the files
entities.media;
entities.user;
all files in a directory must have either named exports OR one default export
git clone git@github.com/ibrokethat/auto-index
cd auto-index
npm i
npm test
