Hi so I have a folder structure like this:
component A
--- other files
extra.js
component B
--- other files
extra.js
component C
--- other files
extra.js
main.js
In each file called "extra.js", I'm exporting a json containing information I need for my app.
In main.js, I import the json each extra.js, manipulate it and do stuff with it.
The code in main will end up looking like this:
import A from './A/extra';
import B from './B/extra';
import C from './C/extra';
for json in [A, B, C]:
do stuff with the json
The problem here is the duplication. Every time I create a new component, I have to add the component to main in two places. Every time I delete a component, I have to delete the code in main. Very bug-prone. Should be automated.
One solution I guess could be just to combine all the extra.js into one gigantic json file, but we have a lot of components, and I would prefer to keep them separate since it makes delegating ownership easier.
What I would like to do is:
for folder in './':
import extra from folder + '/extra';
do stuff with the json
Or somehow just generate javascript that includes all the imports so the dev doesn't have to do it himself.
create a autogen.js file
for folder in './':
append 'import ' + folder + ' from ' + folder + '/extra;'
... later import autogen.js into main.js
Not sure how to do this. Any ideas?
