I know that it is possible to import several files from one directory like this:

import { a, b, c } from 'uselessthings/letters/'

But is it possible to be able to somehow imoprt evreything from a folder, something like this?

import './uselessthings/letters/*'

And have that import evreything from the letters folder?

Do you mean all exports or all files? – Nathan Chu Dec 22 '20 at 21:17

Your first import line only imports from one file, the `index.js` – coagmano Dec 22 '20 at 21:18

Would this work: `import * as letters from './uselessthings/letters'`? And then `letters.a`, `letters.b`, and `letters.c`? – Nathan Chu Dec 22 '20 at 21:19
no, that will still only import from `index.js`, it's common to use `index.js` to group together all the exports from a folder or module – coagmano Dec 22 '20 at 21:20
You mean those letters are constants ??? If this is the case I believe @Nathan Chu 's answer is the right one! – Salma Elshahawy Dec 22 '20 at 21:20

@Rayyan my comment was for one file. Not multiple files – evolutionxbox Dec 22 '20 at 21:21

The question @MaciejKwas pointed to answers your question. It's not possible with ESModules – coagmano Dec 22 '20 at 21:23
Do you expect any file added to that directory to be imported automatically? Why ? @Rayyan – Shayan Mirzaee Dec 22 '20 at 21:38
It turns out that there is no possible way to do what I want. This question is now a duplicate. – Rayyan Dec 23 '20 at 13:48
