Win & Linux importing.

[azarus]

So on windows the importing looks like this if i have the following directory structure:

- source/
  - app/
       -controllers/
            - a.js
            - b.js
            - c.js

import * as whatever from "app/**/*.js";

I receive an object that looks like this: controllersa, controllersb, contorllersc ...

however on linux the output is controllers$a, controllers$b, controllers$c, ...

I am not sure what is the reason behind this, but is there a way with your plugin to have the import mappings work such as

whatever.controllers.a 
whatever.controllers.b
whatever.controllers.c

or something similar?

I'd expect the behavior to be the same. We're not testing this on Windows though, so a good start would be to add AppVeyor. An example file is https://github.com/novemberborn/babel-plugin-files/blob/7803a37a7d094ab97c574570a697de1316c35c35/appveyor.yml.

The idea is that you should be able to import a specific file (import {controllers$a} from 'app/**/*.js'). Creating a nested object structure goes counter to that.

It's an interesting thought though. @lukescott what do you think?

It's unfortunate travis doesn't have Windows support. Adding Appveyor wouldn't hurt. I suspect it has something to do with \ vs /, although we use path.sep, so it's quite odd that $ is missing.

Nested objects: I typically avoid paths that give me $ anyway, so I don't have a preference on it. It could be an option. In fact it may even be easier to work with anyway. Gives you an option to target a specific folder. Generating the structure may be a bit tricky though.

Path sep is quite works odd on windows in my experience altought unix style path separators work just fine on windows.

I am using this module to load all my angular controllers into one file such as

Controllers/user/ profile.js Password.js Search.js Etc..

So it generates bice controller names: UserProfile.js however on linux i got User$Profile and had no idea whats causing the issue. Anyways a quick replace solved temporary but i think it shouls be fixed somewhere in the code or dependencies also would be really cool if we couls get a pretty directory structure object out from this plugin. (I just loved it how nicely its done and working :))
