Upcoming Feature: choose between index files, and export statements at the top of each file.

Extension Settings

Customization is availabe through the following settings:

• Exclude Directories

  • Directories that should be excluded from the index file generation.

• Include Subdirectories

  • Include subdirectories in the index file generation.

• File Name

  • Name your barrel files "index.dart" or like the directory they're in"${package_name}.dart"

• Scope

  • Specify the scope for index file generation (e.g., lib/).

Known Issues
