A CLI tool to generate barrels with ease, efficiency, and intelligence
## Usage ```bash npx js-barrels -d ./folder/to/generate/barrels/for ``` ## Options ```bash -d, --dir Directory to generate barrels for [string] [required] -w, --watch Watch directory and update barrels [boolean] -e, --ext Extension to create the barrel file with, auto-detected by default [string] ``` ## Motivation After developing a Next.js project with many folders and files, I wanted to create barrels to easily use them without clutter in other files and directories, essentially trying to group imports cleanly with the barrels. After trying many different CLI solutions, I concluded that many of them did not fit my use case of default exports combined with named exports, so I set out to make my own CLI which supported both, hence the creation of this tool. ## Pros and Cons ### Pros - Generates barrels for all exports including default and named - Simplistic nature with only two CLI arguments - Includes a watch mode to detect file changes and regenerate barrels accordingly - Lightweight - Generates barrels for nested directories
