Utilities for generating generic TypeScript modules for Deno.

Usage

Assume a project has a utils folder with a bunch of directories and top-level TypeScript files.

- utils
  - hello
    - mod.ts
  - world
    - mod.ts
  - foo.ts
  - bar.ts

The provided functions can scan the utils directory for sub-directories and for top-level TypeScript files and generate a new utils/mod.ts module.

import { exportAllFromFiles, write } from "./mod.ts";

await write(
  import.meta.resolve("./utils/mod.ts"),
  exportAllAsNameFromDirs(import.meta.resolve("./utils")),
  exportAllFromFiles(import.meta.resolve("./utils")),
);

After running the code above, the utils/mod.ts module will contain exports for all module files.

// Generated code. Do not edit.
export * as hello from "./hello/mod.ts";
export * as world from "./world/mod.ts";
export * from "./bar.ts";
export * from "./foo.ts";

Take a look into the example folder to see this in action.

Future Work

This is still an early prototype. It does not support file patterns, custom extensions, reliable detection of modules, and probably a lot of other common options and features.
