Index Module

Automatically export all other modules in the same directory. No configuration, no dependencies.

Install

$ npm install --save index-module

Standard Usage

Add the following line of code to an index.js file in any directory to add all other .js and .json files in that directory to module.exports. The module names will be camelCase and will not begin with a number or have any special characters.

require('index-module')(module);

Note that your file does not need to be called index.js, this is just the standard use so you can require all files in a directory by requiring the relative path of the directory.

Custom Filter

You can pass a custom filename filter function as the second argument, to control which filenames or file extensions are exported.

const customFilter = (fileName, fileExt) => {
  return fileExt === '.js'; // ignore .json and all other file types
};

require('index-module')(module, customFilter);

Custom Mapper

You can pass a custom module name mapper function as the third argument, to control how a filename is converted to an exported module name.

const _ = require('lodash');

const customMapper = (fileName, fileExt) => {
  let moduleName = _.camelCase(fileName);
  let startsWithCapitalLetter = fileName.charAt(0) === fileName.toUpperCase().charAt(0);

  if (startsWithCapitalLetter && fileExt !== '.json') {
    moduleName = _.upperFirst(moduleName);
  }

  return moduleName;
};

require('index-module')(module, null, customMapper);
