Exclude files and directories

[davidleureka]

Is it possible to tell the plugin to exclude certain files and directories? I want to run it on my entire codebase but to ignore directories like node_modules and typings.

Hi @davidleureka ,
I have had to exclude a file names aliases.ts where I define namespace aliases and I have done in this way

tslint: {
    "options": {
        "configuration": "tslint.json",
        "rulesDirectory": ["node_modules/tslint-eslint-rules/dist/rules"]
    },
    "files": {
        "src": ["client/app/**/!(aliases).ts"]
    }
}

basically you can exclude some patterns from the source files.

I hope it helps.

you can exclude specific files / directories in grunt tasks like this:

tslint: {
    options: {
        configuration: "tslint.json",
        force: true
    },
    all: {
        src: [
            'js/**/*.ts', 
            '!js/typings/**'],     // <- relevant exclude line
    },

which would tslint all ts files in js/ and subdirectories but exclude everything under js/typings.

closing as this is already supported by grunt
