Custom ignore pattern for public folder copy

What problem does this feature solve?

I have assets that are used exlusively for the development and currently I am deleting those after build, but that approach is not ideal. Among others because cli analytics is taking those into account and providing missleading information.

What does the proposed API look like?

// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
  publicIgnore: [] // glob pattern
]

I don’t think that we should add yet another config option for this use case, it doesn’t seem common to me, but I may be mistaken. Can you elaborate on your use case a bit?

In any case, you can tweak the webpack config for this:

chainwebpack: config => {
  config.plugin('copy').tap(([options])=> {
    options[0].ignore.push('some/glob')
    return [options]
  })
}

Probably you omited the destructuring. This is my code:

config.plugin('copy').tap(([options]) => {
  options[0].ignore.push('somefolder/**/*')
  return [options]
})
