Ignore file or directory

[bomrafinha]

(Translated) It would be interesting if there was a way to ignore files or directories within a main directory. Something like the git .gitignore file. Example: Ignore the project's .git directory.

(Original) Seria interessante se houvesse uma maneira de ignorar arquivos ou diretórios dentro de um diretório principal. Algo como o arquivo .gitignore do git. Exemplo: Ignorar o diretório .git do projeto.

@bomrafinha thanks for your advice! Currently this extension does not ignore any thing. However, I did considered to add configuration for users to specify ignore patterns, for example, node_modules and .git folders, etc. I'll do that as soon as I got some spare time 😺

I see the code load directoryIgnore in vscode.getConfiguration from config.ts

Could we load directoryIgnore from .gitignore default ?

[galer7]

should a .vscode/settings.json that has:

{
  "asciiTreeGenerator.directoryIgnore": [
    ".git",
    "node_modules",
    "venv",
    "__pycache__",
    ".vscode",
    ".idea",
    ".next",
    ".nuxt",
    "dist",
    "build",
    "coverage"
  ]
}

for for line

directoryIgnore: vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().get<string[]>('asciiTreeGenerator.directoryIgnore'),

?

As this repository seems unmaintained, you might want to try another extension that has the feature you are asking for. It supports own ignore files, as well as using the .gitignore.

BTW:

Look this pr: #20

It is have another future like fileTreeExtractor.showFileComment.

Maybe you can pick it to your repo.
