I'd like to open source (via gulp-plugin) a simple build 'indexer' I'm using in a browserify project. Basically, I'm adding an 'index.js' file into every directory inside of a glob (gulp.src). Current index.js looks like this:
var index = {};
module.exports = index;
index.assets = require('./assets');
index.build = require('./build');
index.bundler = require('./bundler');
index.component = require('./component');
index.indexer = require('./indexer');
index.server = require('./server');
index.database = require('./database');
Is this an okay way to organize a set of modules?? I'm also considering adding a node_modules folders to the top of my src dir (one level below the main dir). So instead of writing:
var form = require('./components).form; //or
var input = require('../components/forms).input
I can:
var form = require('form')
var input = require('input')
I find that this little indexer helps my workflow, maybe it'll help others too? But I don't want to put a plugin out there that's doing something potentially buggy. I asked the question to make sure that it's okay to index components like this, nested, that my syntax is correct, or if there are better ways to implement this pattern?
