make-index

Create an index file containing exports for modules in sub folders.

Why?

This is useful in React when you have a lot of components split in to types and you want to make them all available from a single import.

## Example

Given a folder structure:

 src
   - components
     - AComponent
       - index.js
     - AnotherComponent
       - index.js

Running make-index --d src/components, will create a file at src/components/index.js with the contents:

// DO NOT EDIT - this file was generated by [make-index](https://github.com/penx/make-index)
export AComponent from './AComponent';
export AnotherComponent from './AnotherComponent';

Assumptions

Usage assumes leaf folders are uniquely named throughout the tree (e.g. AComponent and AnotherComponent component in the example above).

CLI
