node.js utility for exporting a directory of files as modules.
npm install export-files> node.js utility for exporting a directory of files as modules.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install with npm (requires Node.js >=10):
``sh`
$ npm install --save export-files
Currently this library only works with require.
Specify the directory with files to export:
Example
Given that __dirname has three files, a.js, b.js, and c.js:
`js`
module.exports = require('export-files')(__dirname);
//=> { a: [getter], b: [getter], c: [getter] }
The second argment may be an object to intialize with. This is useful when you want to use export-files to extend an existing object.
`js`
const utils = {};
utils.doSomething = () => {};
module.exports = require('export-files')(__dirname, utils);
//=> { doSomething: [function], a: [getter], b: [getter], c: [getter] }
Directories to ignore.
Type: string|array
Default: ['.git', 'node_modules', 'test', 'tmp', 'temp', 'vendor']
Example
The following examples shows how to override the default values and, in this case, not ignore any directories.
`js`
const requires = require('export-files');
module.exports = requires(__dirname, undefined, { ignoreDirs: [] });
Recurse into child directories.
Type: boolean
Default: false
Example
`js`
const requires = require('export-files');
module.exports = requires(__dirname, undefined, { recursive: true });
Function to exclude files from the result.
Type: function
Default: Excludes files named index.js
Example
`js`
const requires = require('export-files');
module.exports = requires(__dirname, undefined, file => file.name !== 'a.js');
Modify the casing of keys for exported files.
Type: string, array, or function
.case may be defined as a function to use custom casing on exported names.
If defined as an array or string, valid values are any of the following:
* stem - the file name without modification, excluding file extensionname
* - alias for stem
* - the full file name, including file extensionpascal
* - pasacal case stem, useful for class namescamel
* - camel case stem
* - lower case stem
* - snake case stem
* - (default) attempts to automatically determine casing when exports might be a mixture of casings, like class names and camel case method names.
You may define multiple cases.
Default: auto
Example
`js`
const requires = require('export-files');
module.exports = requires(__dirname, undefined, { case: ['camel', 'pascal'] });
v3.0.0 - breaking changes
* Improvements were made to support recursion and renaming keys. See readme for more details and available options.
v0.2.0 - breaking changes
* Non-javascript files are no longer handled. That functionality was moved to to-exports. This decision was made to keep this lib as fast as possible.
* This library no longer takes any arguments besides the directory to read.
