How to omit subfolders from node_modules for ngx-extended-pdf-viewer

Question

ngx-extended-pdf-viewer allows to omit the subfolders inline-locale-files and additional-locale after copying the entire library assets

 "src/assets",
{
  "glob": "**/*",
  "input": "node_modules/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/assets/",
  "output": "/assets/"
}

I tried to add ignore in the angular.json, but ignore is not allowed.

{
  "glob": "**/*",
  "input": "node_modules/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/assets/",
  "ignore": [
    "node_modules/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/assets/additional-locale",
    "node_modules/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/assets/inline-locale-files"
  ],
  "output": "/assets/"
}

How can I omit these folders and reduce the language list

Answer 1

You can replace **/* by a simple *. However, if you need a subfolder, you have to add each subfolder individually. So it's not a nice solution. But it works!

BTW, omitting these folders doesn't have any impact on your runtime performance. It just makes your distribution package smaller.
