TypeScript Barrel Generator

Working with TypeScript? Want to make your TypeScript imports cleaner? Use this extension to easily export all modules to a barrel index.ts file.

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.

Manual creation

Module creation by listener

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.

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.

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.

The extension makes use of the following settings:
