Description
I added a feature to filter files and folders.
Sometimes we don't want certain files or folders displayed in the sidebar. It would look cleaner if we excluded them from the tree, such as the Image assets folders.
So I developed this feature. By configuring the glob patterns, users can exclude files or folders that they do not want to display. Use "," to separate multiple pattern.
Suppose my directory structure is as follows:
The following three expressions are configured:
**/*t/temp
to exclude the file or folder namedtemp
in base folder**/*temp.md
to exclude all files or folders whose names end withtemp.md
**/*.assets
to exclude all files or folders whose names end with.assets
Use "," to separate multiple pattern:
**/*t/temp,**/*temp.md,**/*.assets
Finally we will see the following structure in the sidebar:
The minimatch module is used to parse glob patterns.
