Platform: Example: Clean up barrel imports

[brandonroberts]

In multiple places we have individual imports for components, containers, effects.

• Create an index.ts file in each grouping folder, for example (components/index.ts)
• Export modules from files in the grouping in the index.ts file, for example (export * from './login-page.component')
• Update imports in the application to use the barrel imports

i can pick this up?

[brandonroberts]

Sure

[jtcrowson]

@King-i are you still picking this up?

[alex-okrushko]

Can we revisit barrel imports? What value do they add in the example app?

Some kind of connected to this issue:

What is your opinion on generating an index.ts file with schematics that exports a fromFeature namespace? This would lead to a better IDE experience in components, directives, services, modules that need to import reducers, actions, selectors, state.

I can provide an example repo if you like this idea.

The auth module has been refactored in #1808, you can use this a reference to refactor the books module.

Is there anyone currently assigned this task? If not, I'd love the opportunity to jump in and help

[timdeschryver]

You can go ahead and take this one @jasonhodges, or are you currently working on this @King-i ?

Thanks @timdeschryver
Anything that needs to be done to mark this as claimed?

[timdeschryver]

No, we already have the community watch as label so we're all good. Maybe just wait 2-3 days before working on this, giving @King-i the opportunity to answer.

No reply. I should be able to get started on this tomorrow.

@brandonroberts @timdeschryver are there still other sections I can clean up barrel imports for? Thanks

[brandonroberts]

@jasonhodges I think the only one left is the core folder
