Can I specify inside import relative path to all files instead of one specifically?

[steady ermine]

I'm trying to find the way how to specify relative path to the todo folder:
https://github.com/invzbl3/project/tree/main/src/todo

to use it then inside imports of the Module:

import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { TodosController } from 'src/todo/todo.controller';
import { TodosModule } from 'src/todo/todo.module';
import { TodosService } from 'src/todo/todo.service';

@Module({
  imports: [TodosController, TodosModule, TodosService],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}```

https://github.com/invzbl3/project/blob/main/src/app.module.ts#L9

Can someone tell me, please, how can I specify relative path to the folder to use it in `imports` instead of using import for each file separately.

I've already tried to specify in the following way as:

import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { Todos } from './todo/todo';

@Module({
  imports: [Todos],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}

but it doesn't look as correct way

1. take the controller and service out of the imports array, they don't belong there

thank you for your answer.

Could you tell me, please, do you how can I specify relative path to all files instead of specific one?

Are you talking about using a barrel file so you can do somethin like import { TodoModule, TodoController, TodoService } from './todo?

[steady ermine]

Yes, exactly,

I have the issue as Cannot find module './todo/todo' or its corresponding type declarations. I need to specify relative path to use import.

You need to make an index.ts file at the route where you want the barrel to be, then you use export * from './path/to/file/to/export/from as many times as necessary to export all of the things you want to export

Very commonly used in npm packages. Take a look at this one for example: https://github.com/jmcdo29/ogma/blob/main/packages/nestjs-module/src/index.ts

export * from './decorators';
export * from './interceptor/ogma.interceptor';
export * from './interceptor/providers';
export * from './interfaces/ogma-options.interface';
export * from './ogma.module';
export { createProviderToken } from './ogma.provider';
export * from './ogma.service';

thank you for your example! I appreciate it.

I've asked additionally, if it's also possible to avoid the usage of index.ts to simplify just via relative path directly in the module.

I'm trying to use your method now, Jay👍

I think I'll remove this question a bit later.

[tribal yew]

No, it's not possible to do it without the index.ts file. That's what makes this a barrel export.

[steady ermine]

Okay, I got your point here👍
