Watch filtering? about gulp-webserver HOT 8 CLOSED

Seems like a good idea! Could you open a PR with this feature + test coverage?

PS: I'm using browserify for my build process and keep my watched files to a minimum like this. But please go for your proposed feature! 👍

I started that PR and filtering the watch doesn't seem to be possible with the current implementation of node-watch (filtering works on when to call the callback), but perhaps this is an options: https://github.com/shama/gaze

Will look into further when I get a chance - might not be soon.

node-watch was just my first choice because it seems very lightweight and simple but gaze also seems like a nice option! Unfortunately I don't have the time to implement the filtering on my own now. But thanks a lot for all your effort!

Absolutely! Happy to contribute. Will take another look at it when I get a chance.

My PR replaces node-watch with the watch module. By default any path with node_modules or bower_components is ignored, but you can override this when configuring livereload. For example, here's a configuration that only ignores node_modules:

webserver({
    livereload: {
        enable: true,
        filter: function (filename) {
            if (filename.match(/node_modules/)) { return false; }
            else { return true; }
        }
    }
});

Nice! 👍

Is there going to be a merge that brings in the filter stuff? I tried it since this issue was closed, but seems filter isn't a valid option yet :(

It should be published with version 0.8.0 on NPM. Let me know if it's still not there yet.
