Exclude paths

Hi,

Thanks for a great library. 🌹

I’m using lint-staged to run tslint on typescript files (*.ts) but I’d like to exclude certain directories from being linted.

How can I exclude certain paths from being linted?

Cheers

@okonet how would I use the exclude pattern in minimatch to ignore certain files? I need to ignore compiled files. how should my lint-staged config look? what I want is something like this:

"lint-staged": {
  "linters": {
    "*.js,!public/dist/*.js": [
      "prettier --write"",
      "git add"
    ]
  }
}

However, I don’t think *.js,!public/dist/*.js is valid minimatch pattern. Do you know how I could use that?

If anyone like me stumbles upon same issue when trying to exclude some folder from lint-staged scope, here’s the solution:

{
  "linters": {
    "!(client)/**/*.{ts,tsx}": ["npm run lint:server --", "git add"]
  }
}

Here lint-staged will run for every .ts or .tsx file in the project except these in root client folder (I’ve got separate tslint.json for my client files).
