🛠️ Don't Use React Imports Like This - Use the Wrapper Pattern Instead

import React from 'react'; import { Button } from './components/ui/Button'; import { Modal } from './components/ui/Modal'; import { Input } from './components/forms/Input'; import { TextArea } from './components/forms/TextArea'; import { Card } from './components/layout/Card'; import { Header } from './components/layout/Header'; import { Footer } from './components/layout/Footer'; import { LoadingSpinner } from './components/feedback/LoadingSpinner'; import { ErrorBoundary } from './components/utils/ErrorBoundary'; import { Avatar } from './components/display/Avatar'; import { Badge } from './components/display/Badge'; import { Tooltip } from './components/overlay/Tooltip'; // ... *screams internally* 😱 // At this point, I'm basically importing half the internet 

// Developer A (the relative path warrior) import { Button } from '../../../components/ui/Button'; // Developer B (the alias enthusiast) import { Button } from '@/components/ui/Button'; // Developer C (the "it works on my machine" person) import { Button } from './components/ui/Button'; // Developer D (the one who gave up) import Button from '../../../../somewhere/maybe/Button'; 

// Before: Import spaghetti 🍝 import { Button } from './components/ui/Button'; import { Modal } from './components/ui/Modal'; import { Input } from './components/forms/Input'; // After: Zen mode activated 🧘‍♂️ import { Button, Modal, Input } from './components'; 

// components/index.js - The hero we didn't know we needed export { Button } from './ui/Button'; export { Modal } from './ui/Modal'; export { Card } from './ui/Card'; export { Input } from './forms/Input'; export { TextArea } from './forms/TextArea'; export { Header } from './layout/Header'; export { Footer } from './layout/Footer'; // One file to rule them all 💍 

// components/ui/index.js - The cool kids' table export { Button } from './Button'; export { Modal } from './Modal'; export { Card } from './Card'; export { Badge } from './Badge'; export { Avatar } from './Avatar'; // components/forms/index.js - Where validation lives export { Input } from './Input'; export { TextArea } from './TextArea'; export { Select } from './Select'; export { Checkbox } from './Checkbox'; // components/layout/index.js - Structure squad export { Header } from './Header'; export { Footer } from './Footer'; export { Sidebar } from './Sidebar'; export { Container } from './Container'; 

// components/index.js - The grand finale export * from './ui'; // All the pretty things export * from './forms'; // All the input magic export * from './layout'; // All the structure export * from './utils'; // All the helper wizards 

// components/index.js export { Button } from './ui/Button'; export { Card } from './ui/Card'; // Only export the secret dev tools when we're feeling rebellious 😈 if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { export { DebugPanel } from './dev/DebugPanel'; export { ComponentX } from './dev/ComponentX'; // The files we never talk about } 

// components/index.js - When you need to get creative with naming export { Button } from './ui/Button'; export { Button as SuperButton } from './ui/PrimaryButton'; // It's SUPER! 🦸‍♂️ export { Modal as Dialog } from './ui/Modal'; // Same thing, different name export { Modal as PopupThingy } from './ui/Modal'; // For when you're feeling casual 

// components/index.ts export { Button, type ButtonProps } from './ui/Button'; export { Modal, type ModalProps } from './ui/Modal'; export { Input, type InputProps } from './forms/Input'; // Re-export types export type { ComponentSize, ComponentVariant } from './types'; 

// ✅ Good: Organized like a boss export * from './ui'; // All the shiny UI stuff export * from './forms'; // Where user input goes to party export * from './layout'; // The architects of the page export * from './utils'; // The unsung heroes doing the dirty work // ❌ Bad: Chaos incarnate export { Button } from './ui/Button'; export { validateEmail } from './utils/validation'; export { Input } from './forms/Input'; export { formatDate } from './utils/date'; // *cries in maintainability* 😭 

// ✅ Good: Explicit and trustworthy export { Button } from './Button'; export { Modal } from './Modal'; // ⚠️ Be careful with: The "trust me bro" approach export * from './Button'; export * from './Modal'; // Can cause circular dependencies (and developer tears) 

// components/index.js /** * Component Library Exports 📚 * * UI Components: Button, Modal, Card, Badge, Avatar (the pretty ones) * Form Components: Input, TextArea, Select, Checkbox (the data collectors) * Layout Components: Header, Footer, Sidebar, Container (the structure crew) * Utility Components: ErrorBoundary, LoadingSpinner (the problem solvers) * * Pro tip: If you can't find a component, it probably doesn't exist yet. * Or maybe it's hiding in the 'experimental' folder 👀 */ export * from './ui'; export * from './forms'; export * from './layout'; export * from './utils'; 

// For default exports, you gotta be explicit (JavaScript quirks, am I right?) export { default as HomePage } from './pages/HomePage'; export { default as AboutPage } from './pages/AboutPage'; export { default as ContactPage } from './pages/ContactPage'; export { default as NotFoundPage } from './pages/404'; // The page we never want to see // Then use like a civilized developer: import { HomePage, AboutPage, NotFoundPage } from './pages'; 

// ❌ This creates the dreaded circular dependency monster 👹 // components/CoffeeOrder.js import { TeaOrder } from './'; // "I need tea to make coffee" - wait, what? // components/TeaOrder.js import { CoffeeOrder } from './'; // "I need coffee to make tea" - this is getting weird // components/index.js export { CoffeeOrder } from './CoffeeOrder'; export { TeaOrder } from './TeaOrder'; // Result: JavaScript.exe has stopped working 

// ❌ Don't export your dirty laundry export * from './internal/SecretSauce'; export * from './private/EmbarrassingComponent'; export * from './experimental/WhoKnowsIfThisWorks'; // ✅ Be selective about your public API (like a good bouncer) export { Button } from './ui/Button'; export { Modal } from './ui/Modal'; // SecretSauce stays secret, as it should 🤫 

// ❌ Too deep - we're not drilling for oil here import { Button } from './components/ui/interactive/buttons/primary/large/red/glowing'; // ✅ Keep it reasonable (your future self will thank you) import { Button } from './components';
