LiBuilderJs

While developing a library it can be real painful to write the index file manually, having to write code and then export the export in the index file each time.

I wrote this script to automate the process of writing the index file, it recursively reads all files inside a given directory and generates an index file.

Configuration

The script should be configured under .libuilderrc.js file, here are the possible options for it:

// .libuilderrc.js

/** @type {import('libuilderjs').Config} */
const config = {
  src: string, // will watch files inside this directory
  dist: string, // will write the index file to this directory
  additional_code?: string, // path to the additional code file
  defaultTags?: "private" | "public", // public by default
};

export default config;

Usage

Mostly

The mostly key is set to public by default, which means that all files under src will be exported in the index file, unless you add //private to the file start, in this case the file will not be exported. But if you set it to private, then all files will be private unless you add //public to the file start.

This is useful when you want to export more files than you want to hide.

Additional code

The additional_code key is used to add additional code to the index file, for example, if you want to add a global import to all files, you can add it to the additional_code file and it will be added to the index file.

Contributing

I plan to add more features to this script, as an array of directories for src, but for now it's just a simple script that does the job. If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to open an issue or a pull request.
