Ignore node_modules folders

For the context: I want to use a combination of lerna and fractal, each fractal component being a npm package handled by lerna. This means that each component can have dependencies to other components or external libraries and can have a node_modules folder.

On the other hand, I don’t want those node_modules folders to appear in my style guide, that’s why I’d need fractal to ignore them.

Digging in the source, I found out that it can be done quite easily by changing src/core/fs.js (line 118) by:

    if (recursive && statCache.isDirectory() && Path.basename(filePath) != 'node_modules') {

That’s all it takes to ignore node_modules folders.

@sbaechler thanks for your suggestion but the problem I’m trying to solve is a bit different than yours. My goal is to be able to ignore nested components.

Let’s say I have 2 components named component-a and component-b and the following folder structure:

| components
|-- component-a
|-- component-b

Now let’s say that component-b depends on component-a. In component-b’s package.json, I will have something like:

"dependencies": {
  "component-a": "1.0.0"
}

Since I use lerna to manage my monorepo, when I run lerna bootstrap I’ll get:

| components
|-- component-a
|-- component-b
|     |-- node_modules
|           |-- component-a

And fractal will display the nested component-a. This is what I want to avoid.
