Exclude a directory while packaging

• Version: 8.7.0

• Target: OSX

I’m using electron-builder to package my app. While building installers I want to exclude a directory (which is junk and have no real use) which resides in my app/node_modules/@paulcbetts/cld/deps/cld . As of now I manually delete it and then run npm run dist to package. Is there any way I can exclude it while building?

@develar any help would be highly appreciated since that folder is taking ~120MB of my app size 😭

@develar you’re awesome. Thank you so much ❤️ . To make it work correctly I had to use it like this -

"files": [
     "**/*",
      "!node_modules/@paulcbetts/cld/deps/cld${/*}"
    ]

As stated in the docs:

Remember that default pattern / is not added to your custom, so, you have to add it explicitly — e.g. ["*/", "!ignoreMe${/}"].
