Overview
The export_generator package is a developer tool that automates the creation of export configuration files for Dart projects. It scans a specified directory and its subdirectories, identifying all files to be exported, then generates a single export file that replaces individual imports. This streamlines code organization by centralizing exports, reducing boilerplate, and improving maintainability. Ideal for large projects with complex file structures, it helps enforce consistent import patterns and simplifies refactoring.
