React Index Updater

This npm package is a utility script for React projects that automatically updates index.js or index.ts files in each subdirectory of the ./src directory. It scans through the ./src directory recursively and for each subdirectory, it checks for React component files (.jsx or .tsx).

For each component file, it reads the file content to find exported components. It then updates the corresponding index.js or index.ts file in the same directory to include an export statement for each component.

If the index.js or index.ts file does not exist, it creates one. This allows for easier importing of components from a directory, enabling syntax like import { Component1, Component2 } from './directory' instead of having to write an import statement for each component.

How to use:

Install globally npm install @zewebdev/react-index-updater --global

Run from the root of your react project: react-index-updater

Please note that this script assumes that components are exported in the format export const ComponentName = ..., if a different format is used, (i.e export default ComponentName) the script would need to be adjusted accordingly. Also, the script does not handle the removal of non-existent components from the index file. This would require a more complex parsing of the JavaScript/TypeScript files.
