Any recommendation on how should I organize my

index.ts

file? Currently I have 14 stacks referenced from index, and expecting to double that amount in the next month. My index contains not also the stacks but also the

addDependency

for each of them. So currently it’s a mess. I been thinking to create

function

s for each of the “Features” that I have, which is basically a grouping of stacks… but to do that I have to create types for each Stack, due most of them has

readonly

attributes which are exposed to other stacks. Maybe I can create TS classes? and create

input

and

output

types? Input will be construct dependencies and output will be anything that has to be shared.

What do you mean you have to create types for each stack?

Yeah that was my mistake, I was planning to use types for each stack because of the

readonly

attributes. But I can use the actual class type too, and worked.

One pattern I use, which I'm not even sure if I love is this

const mystack = new MyStack() // stores all exported properties in a field called outputs
const nextstack = new NextStack({ mystack: mystack.outputs })

// Prop types for NextStack
type Props = {
  mystack: typeof MyStack["outputs"]
}

Kind of similar to what I did.

My inclination would just be to wrap it in a function call that returns an object

I’ve created classes.

I don't like using classes 😛

const groupA = GroupA(app)

function GroupA(app) {
   const stackA = new StackA(app, ...)
   const stackB = new StackB(app, ...)
   return { stackA: stackA.outputs, stackB: stackB.outputs } 
}
// can use ReturnType<typeof GroupA> to get the type of that group if you want to pass it into something else

Cool yeah.

Does it need a name? Looks like you're just naming it specifically to what the group represents

Yeah, it doesn’t need it, but well… still not convinced, haha.
