如何从gulp：watch忽略node_modules目录？

Question

I have a gulp script that watches for code changes in all javascript files . It looks like this:

gulp.watch(['./**/*.jsx', './**/*.js'], ['build:react']);

So, it watches for all .js and .jsx files from root directory, but I want to ignore node_modules directory. How can I do that ?

Answer 1

You ca use gulp unwatch This removes the folder specified from your pipe. However, it's generally a good idea to have a source folder that gulp watches instead of the project root folder (then the .git directory and all sorts will be caught up in your task.
