JSPM – directory-import@3.0.8

Package Exports

directory-import
directory-import/dist/src/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (directory-import) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About

Module for automatic import of files from a directory and subdirectories (sync and async). You can use imported modules either from the returned object or in the callback function.

Installation

npm install directory-import

After installation, you can use the module in your project:

const { directoryImport } = require('directory-import');

const importedModules = directoryImport('./path/to/directory');

// Will output an object with imported modules
// For example: { modulePath1: module1, modulePath2: module2, ... }
console.log(importedModules);

or:

import { directoryImport } from 'directory-import';

const importedModules = directoryImport('./path/to/directory');

// Will output an object with imported modules
// For example: { modulePath1: module1, modulePath2: module2, ... }
console.log(importedModules);

Simple usage

This is one simple example of how to use the library and how it works under the hood:

const { directoryImport } = require('directory-import');

const importedModules = directoryImport('./sample-directory');

console.info(importedModules);

Path to directory from GIF above

You can invoke callback on each file

This can be useful when, for example, you need to do some action depending on the imported file.

const { directoryImport } = require('directory-import');

directoryImport('./sample-directory', (moduleName, modulePath, moduleData) => {
  console.info({ moduleName, modulePath, moduleData });
});

{Function} Callback properties:

Property	Type	Description
name	String	Module name based on file name
path	String	Relative module path
data	String	Exported data of the module. (Ex: "module.exports = 'test'")
index	Number	Imported module index

{Object} Options properties:

Property	Type	Description
includeSubdirectories	Boolean	If true, the module will import files from subdirectories
targetDirectoryPath	String	The path to the directory to import modules from
importPattern	RegExp	RegExp pattern to filter files
importMode	String	The import mode. Can be 'sync' or 'async'
limit	Number	Limit the number of imported modules

More examples:

Minimum code to use:

const { directoryImport } = require('directory-import');

// Will synchronously import all files in the same directory as the code was called
directoryImport();

Asynchronously import files from the specified directory:

const { directoryImport } = require('directory-import');

const result = directoryImport('./path/to/directory', 'async');

// Promise { <pending> }
console.log(result);

Put result in a variable and invoce callback on each file:

const { directoryImport } = require('directory-import');

const importedModules = directoryImport('./path/to/directory', (moduleName, modulePath, moduleData) => {
  // {
  //   moduleName: 'sample-file-1',
  //   modulePath: '/sample-file-1.js',
  //   moduleData: 'This is first sampleFile'
  // }
  // ...
  console.info({ moduleName, modulePath, moduleData });
});

// {
//   '/sample-file-1.js': 'This is first sampleFile',
//   ...
// }
console.info(importedModules);
