@speed-of-light it is not that the style guide recommends that one does not use index.ts files, but rather that it used to recommend you have it and now it doesn't.

index.ts files are no longer generated since the move to NgModule. At the moment if you want to use barrels you have to manage them yourself.

Would be nice to have a switch :) for those who don't want to do it manually.

The CLI follows the style-guide, and the recommendation changed to not have index.ts files overall.

Reexporting is still useful, and we still generate ./src/index.ts and ./src/shared/index.ts on ng new, but we don't do that for other generators.

hi @filipesilva
Could you provide the source of where in the style-guide shows index.ts is recommended not to have? I'd like to know more detail about it. Thanks.
