Configure sublime text 3 node_modules folder for node.js

Question

I need node_modules in the sidebar, but not when searching for files, "go to files".

If i use

{ "folder_exclude_patterns": [ "node_modules"] } 

It works fine except for the sidebar.

Answer 1

You need this parameter `` binary_file_pattern:

  // These files will still show up in the side bar, but won't be included in // Goto Anything or Find in Files "binary_file_patterns": ["*.jpg", "*.jpeg", "*.png", "*.gif", "*.ttf", "*.tga", "*.dds", "*.ico", "*.eot", "*.pdf", "*.swf", "*.jar", "*.zip"], 

You can also use:

 // index_exclude_patterns indicate which files won't be indexed. "index_exclude_patterns": ["*.log"], 

It will display it in the sidebar, but remove it from any index.

You can also try this plugin: https://github.com/titoBouzout/SideBarFolders

For some users .. (me: P), the ST project system is too much. I just want to be able to switch between folders without saving or tracking project files and keeping tabs intact .. well, this package does just that.

Answer 2

High text → Settings → Settings-> opens a new window with all the program settings on the left and your user settings on the right. You must add this line between the brackets {} -

 "binary_file_patterns": [".svn/", ".git/", "node_modules/", "bower_components/"]
