• path: Path in which to create the index file. All filters will get the relative path from this directory
• name: Prioritize ownership in folders, otherwise it will use the one defined in the generator with default_name key. If it is missing, if the folder is lib it will use the package name otherwise the folder name
• library: The name of the library used in the index dart file by the library keyword
• include | exclude: You can define filters that exclude or include files to be included in the index. The filters are passed paths relative to the index file. You can use Glob expressions.
• exports: You can define specific export dart packages in index file. You can use package to export a dart file package or dart core library.
