How to exclude paths in Pug?

Question

I'm trying exclude paths in Pug, that should not be among compiled files in dist folder, but nothig help!.

I renamed dir parts to _parts, parts/footer.pug to _parts/_footer.pug, but I still see compiled files in dist/_parts/ dir.

So, how can exclude some paths in Pug. (I use pug-cli as compiler)?

Answer 1

Yes it's possible with bash And if you're on Windows, you can use git bash You just need to prefix the ignored file with "_"

So, suppose your project directory looks like this:-

• my-project/
  • index.html
  • pugjs
    • _head.pug
    • index.pug

you can do:-

pug -w "$(ls ./pugjs/!(_*))" -o ./

Now what does this line do? basically, the "$(ls ./pugjs/!(*))" lists all files that don't have the prefix "" they get passed as files paths argument to pug
