Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

The problem

You want to import all files that match a glob without having to import them individually.

This solution

This is a babel-plugin-macro which allows you to import files that match a glob. It supports import statements for synchronous resolution as well as dynamic import() for deferred resolution (for code splitting with react router for example).

Table of Contents

Installation

This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and should be installed as one of your project's devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev import-all.macro

Usage

Once you've configured babel-plugin-macros you can import/require import-all.macro.

The importAll functions accept a glob and will transpile your code to import statements/dynamic imports for each file that matches the given glob.

Let's imagine you have a directory called my-files with the files a.js, b.js, c.js, and d.js.

Here are a few before/after examples:

importAll uses dynamic import: README:1 importAll uses dynamic import

import importAll from 'import-all.macro'

document.getElementById('load-stuff').addEventListener('click', () => {
  importAll('./files/*.js').then(all => {
    console.log(all)
  })
})

      ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

document.getElementById('load-stuff').addEventListener('click', () => {
  Promise.all([
    import('./files/a.js'),
    import('./files/b.js'),
    import('./files/c.js'),
    import('./files/d.js'),
  ])
    .then(function importAllHandler(importVals) {
      return {
        './files/a.js': importVals[0],
        './files/b.js': importVals[1],
        './files/c.js': importVals[2],
        './files/d.js': importVals[3],
      }
    })
    .then(all => {
      console.log(all)
    })
})

importAll.sync uses static imports: README:2 importAll.sync uses static imports

import importAll from 'import-all.macro'

const a = importAll.sync('./files/*.js')

      ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

import * as _filesAJs from './files/a.js'
import * as _filesBJs from './files/b.js'
import * as _filesCJs from './files/c.js'
import * as _filesDJs from './files/d.js'
const a = {
  './files/a.js': _filesAJs,
  './files/b.js': _filesBJs,
  './files/c.js': _filesCJs,
  './files/d.js': _filesDJs,
}

importAll.deferred gives an object with dynamic imports: README:3 importAll.deferred gives an object with dynamic imports

import importAll from 'import-all.macro'

const routes = importAll.deferred('./files/*.js')

      ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

const routes = {
  './files/a.js': function () {
    return import('./files/a.js')
  },
  './files/b.js': function () {
    return import('./files/b.js')
  },
  './files/c.js': function () {
    return import('./files/c.js')
  },
  './files/d.js': function () {
    return import('./files/d.js')
  },
}

Configure importAll to transform import path before generating imports

babel-plugin-macros.config.js:

module.exports = {
  importAll: {
    transformModulePath(modulePath, importingPath) {
      const projectRoot = path.join(__dirname, '../../')
      const modulePathWithoutExt = modulePath.replace(/\.js$/, '')
      const absolutePath = path.resolve(
        path.dirname(importingPath),
        modulePathWithoutExt,
      )
      const pathRelativeToRoot = path.relative(projectRoot, absolutePath)
      return pathRelativeToRoot
    },
  },
}
import importAll from 'import-all.macro'
const a = importAll.sync('./files/*.js')
      ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
import * as _filesA from './files/a'
import * as _filesB from './files/b'
import * as _filesC from './files/c'
import * as _filesD from './files/d'
const a = {
  './files/a': _filesA,
  './files/b': _filesB,
  './files/c': _filesC,
  './files/d': _filesD,
}

Caveats

Some static analysis tools (like ESLint, Flow, and Jest) wont like this very much without a little additional work. So Jest's watch mode may not pick up all your tests that are relevant based on changes and some ESLint plugins (like eslint-plugin-import) will probably fail on this.
