Create combined index.ts when outputToNestJsResourceStructure and reExport are set to true

[gwesterman]

When setting both outputToNestJsResourceStructure and reExport to true, no index.ts is created that re-exports from the individual dto and entity folders.

Perhaps a third option could be added to enable this behavior.

I can't reproduce this issue. Can you please share all your config?

[gwesterman]

generator nestjsDto {
  provider                        = "prisma-generator-nestjs-dto"
  output                          = "../../libs/api/models/generated"
  outputToNestJsResourceStructure = "true"
  reExport                        = "true"
  flatResourceStructure           = "false"
  exportRelationModifierClasses   = "true"
  createDtoPrefix                 = "Create"
  updateDtoPrefix                 = "Update"
  dtoSuffix                       = "Dto"
  entityPrefix                    = ""
  entitySuffix                    = ""
  classValidation                 = "true"
  fileNamingStyle                 = "kebab"
  noDependencies                  = "false"
  outputType                      = "class"
  definiteAssignmentAssertion     = "true"
  prettier                        = "true"
}

This will generate the following structure:

.
├── ...
├── generated
│   ├── model1 
│   │   ├── dto
│   │   │   ├── ..
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   └── entity
│   │       ├── ..
│   │       └── index.ts
│   ├── model2
│   │   ├── dto
│   │   │   ├── ..
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   └── entity
│   │       ├── ..
│   │       └── index.ts
│   └── ...
└── ...

There is a barrel index.ts for every dto and entity folder, but there are no barrel in the parent folders that re-export them. This is a something that I currently have to maintain manually in the root level generated.

If I set the configuration to the following:

generator nestjsDto {
 ...
  outputToNestJsResourceStructure = "false"
  flatResourceStructure           = "true"
  reExport                        = "true"
 ...
}

I get this folder structure, where every file, including a barrel index.ts is contained within a single root folder.

.
├── ...
├── generated
│   ├── connect-model1 .dto.ts
│   ├── connect-model1 .entity.ts
│   ├── create-model1 .dto.ts
│   ├── create-model1 .entity.ts
│   ├── model1.dto.ts
│   ├── model1.entity.ts
│   ├── model2.dto.ts
│   ├── model2.entity.ts
│   ├── update-model1 .dto.ts
│   ├── update-model1 .entity.ts
│   ├── index..ts
│   └── ...
└── ...

This is quite messy but allows me to export everything from a single barrel index.ts, which is quite useful.

I would like to have the following folder structure:

.
├── ...
├── generated
│   ├── model1 
│   │   ├── dto
│   │   │   ├── ..
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   ├── entity
│   │   │   ├── ..
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   └── index.ts
│   ├── model1 
│   │   ├── dto
│   │   │   ├── ..
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   ├── entity
│   │   │   ├── ..
│   │   │   └── index.ts
│   │   └── index.ts
│   ├── index.ts
│   └── ...
└── ...

Here generated/index.ts exports everything from generated/model1/index.ts and generated/model2/index.ts

while generated/model1/index.ts exports everything from generated/model1/dto/index.ts and generated/model1/entity/index.ts.

and generated/model2/index.ts exports everything from generated/model2/dto/index.ts and generated/model2/entity/index.ts.

This allows me to re-export everything from a single barrel index.ts on the root level but also keep the models separate from each other in, keeping things a little more tidy.

What about setting all 3 options to true?

generator nestjsDto {
 ...
  outputToNestJsResourceStructure = "true"
  flatResourceStructure           = "true"
  reExport                        = "true"
 ...
}

It would generate a structure like below having model1 and model2 separated, but model1.dto.ts and model1.entity.ts are in the same folder with a common index.ts:

.
├── ...
├── generated
│   ├── model1 
│   │   ├─ model1.dto.ts
│   │   ├─ model1.entity.ts
│   │   ├─ create-model1.dto.ts
│   │   ├─ ...
│   │   └─ index.ts
│   ├── model2
│   │   ├─ model2.dto.ts
│   │   ├─ model2.entity.ts
│   │   ├─ create-model2.dto.ts
│   │   ├─ ...
│   │   └─ index.ts
│   └── ...
└── ...

This would still require maintaining a barrel file on the root level manually. It's the smallest of inconveniences, I just wanted to put it out there ;-)

[Brakebein]

Ah, I missed the last index.ts in the generated folder in your example.

I added a combined index.ts in the root output folder. Please checkout https://www.npmjs.com/package/@brakebein/prisma-generator-nestjs-dto/v/1.18.0-beta4
