Support for hidden files

[Boldewyn]

Hi and thank you for this cool project!

One possible file name in some projects is .namespace.js with a leading dot to mark the file as hidden on UNIX-y OSes.

How would a proload plugin for this syntax look like? From peeking at the RC plugin I assume something like this?

module.exports = {
    name: 'proload-plugin-hidden', // or @proload/plugin-hidden for an official plugin
    extensions: [''],
    fileNames: ['.[name]'], // will the dot be interpreted literally or as regexp wildcard?
}

Hello, thanks for opening an issue! I just published @proload/plugin-dotfile to handle this use case!

The following code would enable loading a .namespace.js file with the leading dot (in addition to the default namespace.config.js files.)

import load from '@proload/core';
import dotfile from '@proload/plugin-dotfile';

load.use([dotfile]);
load('namespace');

Since plugins only add behavior on top of the defaults, to allow only .namespace.js files you could use a custom accept handler.

import load from '@proload/core';
import dotfile from '@proload/plugin-dotfile';

load.use([dotfile]);
load('namespace', {
  accept(name) {
    return name.startsWith('.');
  }
});
