js-index-generator is a npm package that provides a single command: index-generator.
This command can be used to generate an index file in a directory containing javascript or typescript code using ESM export syntax.

Installation

Integration

Intellij

In settings, External Tools, you can add it with the following config :

• program: index-generator
• arguments: --overwrite --eslint --callback "prettier --write" (you'll need eslint and prettier for this to work properly)
• Working directory: $FileDir$

Don't forget to check Synchronize file after execution to refresh the index file in the IDE.
