tsx-auto-indexer

tsx-auto-indexer is a powerful tool that automatically updates and manages index.tsx files for your project. It ensures that your exports are organized, reducing manual work and errors.

Features

• Automatic Indexing: Automatically updates index.tsx files to export components and modules.
• Recursive Directory Handling: Recursively updates index files for all subdirectories.
• Watch Mode: Watches specified folders for file changes and updates the index files accordingly.
• Run Once Mode: Run the script just once without watching for changes.
• Configurable: Allows configuration of folders to watch through a JSON config file.
• Batched Logging: Reduces frequent logging and logs updates in batches.

Installation

To install the tsx-auto-indexer globally, use:

npm install -g @baudevs/tsx-auto-indexer

Usage

Create a Config File

Create a file in the root directory of your project with the following structure:

{
  "foldersToWatch": ["app", "styles", "public/img"]
}

Run the Indexer

To start the indexer, run:

tsx-auto-indexer

This will read the config file and start watching the specified folders. It will automatically update files when changes are detected.

Run the Indexer Once

To run the indexer just once without watching for file changes, run:

tsx-auto-indexer --once

This will read the config file and generate all indexes in a single run without keeping the watcher active.

Example

Config File Example

{
  "foldersToWatch": ["src/components", "src/utils"]
}
