Are you tired of manually maintaining index files in your JavaScript or TypeScript projects? Meet Barrelize - a powerful, modern tool that automatically generates and maintains barrel (index) files, making your codebase cleaner and more maintainable.
/
A CLI tool for automatically generating index (barrel) files in TypeScript and JavaScript projects. Simplifies exports and maintains clean code organization.
Barrelize
? A modern, lightweight and efficient tool for automatically generating index (barrel) files in your JavaScript and TypeScript projects.
Barrelize simplifies module exports by creating clean, centralized index.js or index.ts files, reducing boilerplate and improving project organization.
Features
npm install --save-dev barrelize
…
What Are Barrel Files and Why Should You Care? ?
Barrel files (commonly named index.ts or index.js) serve as central export points for a directory, allowing you to group and re-export multiple modules. Instead of importing from multiple files:
import {UserService} from './services/user-service';
import {AuthService} from './services/auth-service';
import {ConfigService} from './services/config-service';
You can have a clean, single import:
import {UserService, AuthService, ConfigService} from './services';
While barrel files are great for code organization, maintaining them manually can be tedious and error-prone. That's where Barrelize comes in! ?
Why Should You Try Barrelize?

npm install --save-dev barrelize
npx barrelize init
npx barrelize
That's it! Barrelize will scan your project and create organized barrel files automatically. ?
Power Features That Make Life Easier ?
Smart File Matching ?
Configure exactly which files should be included or excluded:
{
"barrels": [
{
"path": "src",
"include": ["**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx"],
"exclude": ["**/*.test.ts", "**/*.spec.ts"]
}
]
}
Export Ordering ?
Keep your exports organized with custom ordering:
{
"barrels": [
{
"order": ["types", "constants", "utils", "components"]
}
]
}
Style Customization ?
Match your project's coding style:
{
"singleQuote": true,
"semi": true,
"insertFinalNewline": true
}
Real-World Benefits ?
Barrelize is lightweight, open-source, and ready to improve your development workflow. We'd love to hear your feedback and see how you use it in your projects!
npm install --save-dev barrelize
