I've wrote a function to simplify writing exclude pattern, due to the fact that ** matches all children and the parent.
del.sync(extendNegGlobs(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets/goat.png']));
// is equivalent with
del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets/goat.png', '!public/assets', '!public']);Here is my function:
function extendNegGlobs(arr) {
var ext = [];
var negs = {};
arr.forEach((g, i) => {
if ( g.slice(0,1) == '!' ) {
negs[g] = i;
}
});
Object.keys(negs).forEach((g) => {
var d;
if ( g.slice(-1) == '*' ) do {
g = path.dirname(d = g);
if ( g == '!' || g == '.' || g == d ) break;
if ( !(g in negs) ) {
negs[g] = ext.push(g);
}
}
while ( true );
});
return arr.concat(ext);
}I don't pretend this is a complete/nice solution, but it might be a starting point to finding one!
