require-indexjs

Helper to ease the use of index.js to export modules using .js files or index.js folder pattern.

Installation

npm i --save require-indexjs

Usage

module.exports = require('require-indexjs')()

Example

Given this directory:

src
 |-- MockModule
 |   |-- index.js
 |-- ExampleClass
 |   |-- index.js
 |-- augmenter.js
 |-- index.js // require-indexjs

And src/index.js:

module.exports = require('require-indexjs')()

When required, you get an object containing every module exported in that directory:

{
    MockModule: [Function: MockModule],
    ExampleClass: [Function: ExampleClass],
    augmenter: [Function: augmenter]
}

Making it recursively

Using require-indexjs per directory depth, you can get every module and its folder names:

src
 |-- classes
 |   |-- DbHelper
 |   |   |-- index.js
 |   |-- Parser
 |   |   |-- index.js
 |   |-- modules
 |   |   |-- augmenter
 |   |   |   |-- index.js
 |   |   |-- index.js // require-indexjs
 |   |-- index.js // require-indexjs
 |-- data.json
 |-- index.js // require-indexjs

You get an object containing every module exported in folder tree structure:

{
    classes: {
        DbHelper: [Function: DbHelper],
        Parser: [Function: Parser],
        modules: {
            augmenter: [Function: augmenter]
        }
    },
    data: {}
}

Tip

When required you could apply destructuring like this:

const { classes, data } = require(./src)
const { DbHelper, Parser, modules } = classes
const { augmenter } = modules

File types/extensions

Allowed extensions are: js, jsx and json. Any other type will be ignored.
