ctix - Next generation Create TypeScript Index file

Installation

Introduction

When you develop package for another application using TypeScript, that is compiled using by webpack, babel. webpack very popular tool for bundling. At this time you need bundle entrypoint called by index.ts.

Manage index.ts(export file), not so convenience. If you add file or class, function you rewrite export file over and over again. ctix help this work. ctix read .npmignore, .ctiignore file after ignore there also you can use exclude configuration in tsconfig.json. See below example,

  src/
    app.ts
    component/
      Nav.ts
      Button.ts

ctix create sub-command create index.ts file below.

  src/
    app.ts
    > index.ts
      // created from 'ctix'
      export * from './component';
      export * from './app';
    component/
      Nav.ts
      Button.ts
      > index.ts
        // created from 'ctix'
        export * from './Nav';
        export * from './Button';

ctix single mode generate single file. This file suitable for webpack entrypoint.

  src/
    app.ts
    component/
      Nav.ts
      Button.ts
  > entrypoint.ts
    // created from 'ctix'
    export * from './src/app.ts'
    export * from './src/component/Nav.ts'
    export * from './src/component/Button.ts'

Why ctix?

Pros

1. pass tsconfig.json file, another process don't care about
2. Support default exportation
   • my_default_index.test.ts file create export { default as myDefaultIndexTest } from './my_default_index.test'

Cons

1. Something slow some project
   • ctix use TypeScript compiler API, big project some slow

What is difference module resolution?

Most inconvenience from import statement that solve module resolution. But module resolution don't helpful for entrypoint create for bundling. ctix helpful this work.
