Description

Creating an index.ts file in components/Icon that would just import all the icon components and export them.

// components/Icon/index.ts
import {IconCopy} from './IconCopy';

export {IconCopy};
Why do this?

The old import

import {IconCopy} from '../Icon/IconCopy';

would then be replaced with

import {IconCopy} from '../Icon';

thus creating a better readable code.

Research direction

Start with components/Icon and the proposed components/Icon/index.ts entry point, using IconCopy as the example export. Find the existing ../Icon/IconCopy imports, replace them with ../Icon, and confirm the index exports all icon components.
