## ❓ Why

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:

```typescript
// folder/index.ts
export * from "./foo";
export * from "./bar";
```

## ✨ Functionalities

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`.

### Create from the current file directory

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.

### Manual creation

</p>

### Module creation by listener

  <img src="./assets/listener.gif" alt="Export listener" style="display: inline-block" />
</p>

> **Info**: When a folder listener is added, it will be visible in the `TypeScript - Export Listeners` view. By clicking on the folder names, you will automatically open the `index.ts` file.

#### Removing a listener

Folder listeners can be removed by right-clicking on the folder name in the `TypeScript - Export View`.

</p>

### Excluding folder(s)/file(s)

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.

</p>

<p align="center">
  <img src="./assets/exclude-file.png" alt="Excluding file" style="display: inline-block" />
</p>

#### Include previously excluded folder(s)/file(s)

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`.

<p align="center">
  <img src="./assets/include-export.png" alt="Include to export" style="display: inline-block" />
</p>

### Customizing the Barrel File Name

By default, the barrel file is named `index.ts`. You can customize this name using the `exportall.config.barrelName` setting in your VS Code settings. For example:

```json
"exportall.config.barrelName": "barrel.ts"
```

This will generate a barrel file with the specified name instead of index.ts.

### Recursive Folder Search

You can enable recursive searching of subdirectories for TypeScript files using the `exportall.config.recursive` setting. This is useful when you have a folder structure like:

```
components/
  button/
    button.tsx
    button.module.scss
  textBox/
    textBox.tsx
    textBox.module.scss
```

To export TypeScript files from all subdirectories without requiring index files in each subfolder:

```json
"exportall.config.recursive": true
```

When enabled, running the export command on the `components` folder will create:

```typescript
// components/index.ts
export * from './button/button';
export * from './textBox/textBox';
```

## ⚙️ Configuration / Settings

The extension makes use of the following settings:
