How to exclude files?

[buddhaCode]

Hi.
I try to exclude some files from triggering a reload. I am using laravel-vite-plugin which has a dependency on your plugin to do the reloading stuff. I want to exclude files ending with -livewire.blade.php. I tried the following config. But this doesn't work. Any idea why?

    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: [
                'resources/js/app.js',
            ],
            refresh: ['resources/views/**', '!(resources/views/**/*-livewire.blade.php)', '!(resources/views/**-livewire.blade.php)'],
        }),
    ]

The page reloads, whether I change resources/views/dashboard.blade.php or resources/views/counter-livewire.blade.php. I want it to not reload on resources/views/counter-livewire.blade.php.

Best, Arne

Hi Arne!

This library uses picomatch to match files, which does support negative patterns.

The problem is that when providing several paths, it will treat it as match if any of them matches.

In the example you provided, resources/views/** will match any view, so it doesn't matter if other paths are using a negative glob pattern.

You could try using something like:

 refresh: ['resources/views/**!(-livewire.blade.php)'],

Hi Máximo,
Thanks you for the clarification. Your suggested pattern doesn't work either. So sad. I will try to find another way. Thank you.
