Ability to omit paths from refresh

It’s super straightforward to include paths to look at for triggering a refresh, but it would be really helpful to be able to also define paths to exclude. The use case for me is that I’d like to omit resources/views/livewire/** and instead let the vite-livewire-plugin handle hot-reloading when those files change.

I was able to cobble together something that works based on the old workaround to get full page refresh working when blade files change by explicitly ensuring the triggering file(s) don’t include /livewire/ in their path name.

But it would be much nicer to, instead of this:

{
  name: 'blade',
  handleHotUpdate({ file, server }) {
    if ((file.includes('routes/') || file.endsWith('.blade.php')) && !file.includes('/livewire/')) {
      server.ws.send({
        type: 'full-reload',
        path: '*',
      })
    }
  },
}

Simply be able to do something like this:

{
  laravel({
    // ...
    refresh: ['resources/views/**'],
    omit: ['resources/views/livewire/**'],
  }),
}

@willvincent you can create a glob pattern to match your requirements. Under the hood, picomatch is used, so the following should work for your needs…

{
  laravel({
    // ...
    refresh: ['resources/views/!(livewire)**'],
  }),
}

You can learn more in the picomatch documentation: https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch#advanced-globbing

Just downgraded to vite 2.9 and it’s all good!
