[DEPRECATED] Folder For Index VSCode Extension

This extension is deprecated and no longer maintained. Please use Index File Manager instead.

This extension is a handy tool for managing JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and TSX files in Visual Studio Code.

Features

File Rename Command

The Folder For Index extension offers a rename command that allows you to rename a selected index.js, index.ts, index.jsx, or index.tsx file to use its parent folder's name while keeping the same extension. For instance, file src/components/Button/index.jsx can be renamed to src/components/Button.jsx using this command.

Vice versa, it also provides a rename command to rename a file of normal filename to an index file under the folder named after the file. For instance, file src/components/Button.jsx can be renamed to src/components/Button/index.jsx using this command.

Create Index File Command

The Folder For Index extension provides a command to create an index file in a specified folder. This command scans the folder for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and TSX files and generates an index file that exports all the members(*) from all the found files.

Usage

Rename File

To use the Rename Index File command, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on a file with extension .js, .ts, .jsx, or .tsx in the VSCode file explorer.
2. In the context menu, find the Rename Index File option and click on it.
3. Your file will now be renamed.
4. If prompted to update imports, please select Yes or Always.

Create Index File

1. Right-click on a folder in the VSCode file explorer.
2. In the context menu, find the Create Index File option and click on it.
3. Select the desired file extension for the index file (.js, .ts, .jsx, or .tsx).
4. The extension will create an index file in the selected folder, exporting all members from all the JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and TSX files found in that folder.

Note: If an index file with the same extension already exists in the folder, you will be prompted to overwrite it. If you previously turned off the Folder For Index warning message, you need to click the Notification button in the bottom right corner to see this warning message.
