Include only specific node_modules

Please describe your issue: Let’s assume that I want to exclude these files from packaging:

• npm-debug
• gulpfile.js
• .vscode

So setting --ignore option like this:

--ignore='npm-debug|gulpfile\.js|\.vscode'

It’s working. But how to I make regex that exclude only specific node_modules with above regex? I tried:

--ignode='npm-debug|gulpfile\.js|\.vscode|^((?!node_modules/mqtt).)$'  // NOT WORKING

but it won’t worked. I know my regex was wrong, but I don’t know how should I do now. Literally, I’m stucked now. Is there a something another option to include specific files from --ignore option? Else, how do I resolve this?

@rico345100 If you don’t want a node_module to be included in production, just set it as a devDepednency and it will be pruned automatically

Untested but this regexp should do what you want

--ignore="^\/(.vscode|gulpfile.js|userdata.json|npm-debug.log|my-app-darwin-x64)"

Basically add things that you want to ignore inside those brackets. The key bit to that regexp is ^\/ which forces the match to be at the start of the path 👍
