Option to exclude circular dependencies chains including a module

[vkammerer]

Hello,

Thank you for the great plugin!

I have a module 'moduleA' in my project which I would like to exclude from the circular dependency check. I can use the "exclude" option":

{
  exclude: /moduleA/
}

But I would also like to be able to exclude any circular dependency traversing 'moduleA'... For now, the "exclude" option only tests the resource of the module being compiled, but doesn't test on the chain of the circular dependency.

Would it be possible to add this option? something similar to "excludeIfTraverses"?

{
  excludeIfTraverses: /moduleA/
}

Hi, @vkammerer. Can you explain further?

You're saying that exclude will ignore something like:

moduleA -> moduleB -> moduleA

but not

moduleB -> moduleA -> moduleC -> moduleA?

[vkammerer]

Yes, with your last line being

moduleB -> moduleA -> moduleC -> moduleB

Isn't it how you wanted the option?

I've published version 4 that allows a consumer to provide an onDetected option. This will allow you to accomplish the behavior you want. I'm going to go ahead and close this.

ok great thank you!

I also have the same problem, "onDetected" cannot satisfy me because it can only control the output.
