Working with TypeScript? Want to make your TypeScript imports cleaner? Use this extension to easily export all modules to a barrel index.ts file.
Info: A "barrel" is a way to rollup exports from several modules into a single convenient module. The barrel itself is a module file that re-exports selected exports of other modules.
Example:
// folder/index.ts
export * from './foo';
export * from './bar';The extension allows you to manually or automatically export the modules to a barrel file. For the automatic way, you first have to create a listener for the folder for which you want to create the automated export.
In both the manual and automatic way, an index.ts file will be created with a reference to all the folder/files in the current directory.
Info: If there are folders/files you want to get excluded from the export, you can do this by right-clicking on the folder/file and clicking on the
TypeScript: Exclude folder/file from export.
By using the Barrel Generator: Export all modules from the current file directory command, you can create a barrel file from the current file path its directory.
Info: If you want, you can add your own keybinding to this command to make it easier to trigger.
Info: When a folder listener is added, it will be visible in the
TypeScript - Export Listenersview. By clicking on the folder names, you will automatically open theindex.tsfile.
Folder listeners can be removed by right-clicking on the folder name in the TypeScript - Export View.
If there are specific folders or files you want to exclude from your module, you can do this by right-clicking on the file, and click on the TypeScript: Exclude folder/file from export menu action.
When you already excluded a folder or file, and want to include these again into your module export, you can do this from the TypeScript - Export View. Under the Excluded folders & files section, right-click on the folder or file to include and click Include to export.
The extension makes use of the following settings:
| Setting | Description | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
exportall.config.namedExports |
Specifies if you want to use named exports in the barrel file. | boolean | false |
exportall.config.includeFoldersToExport |
Specifies if folder (which contain a index.ts file) will also be included in the module export. |
boolean | true |
exportall.config.exclude |
Specify which files you want to exclude the index.ts file. Works on the whole filename or part of the filename. |
string[] | ['.test.', '.spec.'] |
exportall.config.folderListener |
Specify the relative paths for the folder listeners. This will make it possible to automatically generate the module export once a file gets added/updated/removed within the specified folder. To listen to sub-folders, you can include the directory wildcard ** to the path. |

exportall.config.relExclusion |
