Is there a way to automatically declare external exports for Javascript / Typescript module?

Question

I have this one typescript library being shared with all other projects. Sort of like a commons library. The "main" configured inside the package.json is the index.js. I find myself manually importing and then exporting all the individual modules from this project's source into the main index.js. Is there a better way to export them all much like how public classes are all exposed in Java?

External modules are external and they're not a part of javascript's functionalities. — Masoud Ghorbani Sarini

No, this isn't possible. All ECMAScript modules (which TypeScript compiles to) must explicitly export any object they wish to import elsewhere. Nothing can be implicitly exported or imported.
