- 🛠️ Automatically finds and generates binary entries for CLI files (.bin.ts, .bin.tsx)
- ⚙️ Supports custom package.json and tsconfig.json paths
- 🧪 Dry run mode to preview changes
- 📝 Sorts exports and binary entries alphabetically
- 📁 Handles index files and nested directories correctly
- 🚀 Zero configuration needed
- 📦 Works with any package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun)

Using yarn

`

Usage

$3

`bash


Show help

create-exports --help

Run with default settings

create-exports

Dry run to see what would change

create-exports --dry-run

Use custom package.json and tsconfig.json

create-exports --package-json ./custom/package.json --tsconfig ./custom/tsconfig.json
`

$3

- -p, --package-json : Path to package.json file
- -t, --tsconfig : Path to tsconfig.json file
- -d, --dry-run: Show what would be changed without writing
- -h, --help: Show help message

$3

`typescript
import { createExports } from "@cjkihl/create-exports";

// With default options
await createExports();

// With custom options
await createExports({
packageJsonPath: "./custom/package.json",
tsconfigPath: "./custom/tsconfig.json",
dryRun: true
});
`

File Naming Conventions

$3

Files that should be exported must end with .pub.ts or .pub.tsx. For example:

- index.pub.ts → exported as root
- src/utils.pub.ts → exported as ./src/utils
- src/components/index.pub.tsx → exported as ./src/components

$3

Files that should be available as CLI commands must end with .bin.ts or .bin.tsx. For example:

- cli.bin.ts → available as cli command
- tools/helper.bin.ts → available as helper command

Output

The tool will update your package.json with:

1. exports field containing all public exports with their TypeScript types
2. bin field containing all binary entries

Example output:

`json
{
"exports": {
".": {
"types": "types/index.pub.d.ts",
"default": "dist/index.pub.js"
},
"./src/utils": {
"types": "types/src/utils.pub.d.ts",
"default": "dist/src/utils.pub.js"
}
},
"bin": {
"cli": "dist/cli.bin.js",
"helper": "dist/tools/helper.bin.js"
}
}
`
