Import from Path Module

The import-from-path module is designed to simplify the process of importing files dynamically based on a specified pattern from a directory. This utility is particularly useful in projects where schemas or resolvers are split across multiple files and need to be dynamically loaded during runtime.

Features

• Dynamic Importing: Automatically imports files based on regex patterns.
• Recursive Search: Traverses directories recursively to find matches.
• Promise-based API: Uses promises to handle asynchronous file operations, ensuring that all files are loaded properly before proceeding.

Installation

npm install import-from-path

Usage

import importFromPath from 'import-from-path';

await importFromPath('path/to/directory', /\.ts$/); // Import all TypeScript files

Example

To dynamically load GraphQL schema and resolver files in a directory, you might use importFromPath like this:

import importFromPath from 'import-from-path';

async function loadSchemasAndResolvers() {
  await importFromPath(__dirname + '/schemas', /\.schema\.ts$/);
  await importFromPath(__dirname + '/resolvers', /\.resolver\.ts$/);
}

loadSchemasAndResolvers();

This setup will help ensure that all necessary GraphQL components are loaded dynamically at runtime, which is particularly useful in large projects with modularized schema or resolver definitions.

Error Handling

The functions in import-from-path are designed to handle errors internally and will reject the promise if an error occurs during file reading or directory listing. Make sure to use try-catch blocks to handle these rejections properly in your application.
