Exclusion Manager

Manages a list of file or directory names (or patterns) to ignore/exclude and provides an easy to way check if a file or directory name should be ignored.

npm install exclusion-manager

Usage

When you know the things you want to ignore ahead of time

var ExclusionManager = require('exclusion-manager');
 
var toIgnore = [
  'node_modules',
  'bower_components',
  '.git',
  'vendor',
  // Regexes supported too
  /.*\.js/,
  /.*\.scss/
];
 
var emanager = new ExclusionManager(toIgnore);
 
console.log(emanager.shouldIgnore('bundle.js')); // returns true

If you need to add things dynamically

emanager.addExclusion('.jshintrc');

Under the hood

Exclusion manager converts everything to Regular expressions (if they're not already) for more precise matching.
