You have a few options:

1. Let plugin browserify-bridge auto-export the modules to a generated entry module. This is helpful for SDK projects or situations where you don't have to manually keep up with what is exported.

2. Follow a pseudo-namespace pattern for roll-up exposure:

First, arrange your library like this, taking advantage of index look-ups on folders:

/src
--entry.js
--/helpers
--- index.js
--- someHelper.js
--/providers
--- index.js
--- someProvider.js
...

With this pattern, you define entry like this:

exports.Helpers = require('./helpers');
exports.Providers = require('./providers');
...

Notice the require automatically loads the index.js from each respective sub-folder

In your subfolders, you can just include a similar manifest of the available modules in that context:

exports.SomeHelper = require('./someHelper');

This pattern scales really well and allows for contextual (folder by folder) tracking of what to include in the rolled-up api.
