Introduction

When you develop package for another application using TypeScript, that is compiled using by webpack, babel. webpack very popular tool for bundling. At this time you need bundle entrypoint called by index.ts.

Manage index.ts(export file), not so convenience. If you add file or class, function you rewrite export file over and over again. ctix help this work. ctix read .npmignore, .ctiignore file after ignore there also you can use exclude configuration in tsconfig.json. See below example,

  src/
    app.ts
    component/
      Nav.ts
      Button.ts

ctix create sub-command create index.ts file below.

  src/
    app.ts
    > index.ts
      // created from 'ctix'
      export * from './component';
      export * from './app';
    component/
      Nav.ts
      Button.ts
      > index.ts
        // created from 'ctix'
        export * from './Nav';
        export * from './Button';

ctix single mode generate single file. This file suitable for webpack entrypoint.

  src/
    app.ts
    component/
      Nav.ts
      Button.ts
  > entrypoint.ts
    // created from 'ctix'
    export * from './src/app.ts'
    export * from './src/component/Nav.ts'
    export * from './src/component/Button.ts'
