Option for default name of barrel files

[DFelten]

Could you maybe add the possibility to change the default name of a barrel file?

I would like to call each barrel file for example index.dart. Currently, a created file overwrites the existing files if they are named exactly like the folder. So index.dart is a good default for us.

Thanks @DFelten for opening the issue 😄!

Adding an option in the user settings that allows you to always name the file differently (instead of the default <folder-name>.dart). There is currently this option that, when "on" and you create a barrel file an input appears. This is more like a one-time use case, and if you say you always use index.dart, then sure having a default is better.

As soon as I can I will get into it!

Thanks! As far as I know The problem with the current option is that this is only working for one folder and not for nested ones.

So when adding the prompt also for nested folders would also be a great improvement.

But a default is at least for me the best solution 😃

Oh! Thanks for pointing it out! I will address both issues as it is not the expected behaviour! 👀

I have been revising the code, and we decided that we would not implement the custom "renaming" of files when current and nested generation was chosen (see here).

As I nobody required such feature, I decided not to implement it. However, I will add it 👍🏼

[DFelten]

Thanks, that would be great!

Issue solved in #58! It will be available in the next release 🥳
