@typescript-virtual-barrel sample

Sample (and simple) project to test the capabilities of TypeScript Virtual Barrel.

Install the dependencies with npm install.

Run the compiler with npm run build and execute the project with npm start. You should see:

{ BoxConst: 'BoxConst' }
{ BoxDefault: 'BoxDefault' }
{ SpacerConstAliased: 'SpacerConstAliased' }
{ SpacerConstForwarded: 'SpacerConstForwarded' }
{ dataJson: { user: 'components' } }

{ InfoObject: { prop1: 'value' } }
{ BoxConstFromOther: 'BoxConstFromOther' }
{ BoxDefaultFromOther: 'BoxDefaultFromOther' }

All those symbols are exported by the ./src/{components,other} virtual barrels.

There is more explanation in the repo, but keeping it short: I've created a compiler plugin that resolves barrel imports that doesn't exist. Crazy, right?

If you're feeling curious, explore the contents of the dist folder of this repo. The compiled version does not have a {components,other}/index.js file. The import declarations have been rewritten.

And yes, feel free to modify the src/*.ts files in VSCode -- changes apply in real time in the editor. Check the usage example.
