If our project is a TypeScript project, when we run tsc
command, all the TypeScript files are compiled to JavaScript files. But what if, we want to exclude certain files from compilation?
Say we have three files in our project:
app.ts
analytics.ts
tracking.ts
When we run tsc
command, only app.ts
needs to compile. For that, we need to add exclude
property in tsconfig.json
file.
Open tsconfig.json
file. Your file might look like this now:
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
}
}
Add exclude
property in the root level as shown below:
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
},
"exclude": ["analytics.ts", "tracking.ts"]
}
We can use wild card(*
) in the file name pattern.
