How to exclude some files or directories?

[nilansaha]

I have a file that has some literal TailwindCSS code and its mangling that too.

Is there any way to keep that file untouched? That Tailwindcss code is not used anywhere. Its just a string and I want that untouched.

Thanks for the help.

There is no particularly effective way to do this.

One option is to use mangleClassFilter and put all the tailwindcss class names in your file to avoid obfuscation: mangleClassFilter:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import { vitePlugin as utwm, defaultMangleClassFilter } from 'unplugin-tailwindcss-mangle'
// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    utwm({
      mangleClassFilter(className) {
        // all your untouched tailwindcss class name
        if (['xxxx','yyyy'].includes(className)) {
          return false
        }
        return defaultMangleClassFilter(className)
      },
    })
  ]
})

But this will make all the class names in the target array unobfuscated.

Another option is to build your untouched target file into a single-file bundle, and then use the exclude option to exclude it (both the include and exclude configuration items are for the webpack/vite chunk path, not the source directory)

Hi, [email protected] is release. You can use the new include/exclude options to exclude files and dirs. Have a try! :)
