new Include and Exclude is hard to understand and use

[tjx666]

I just want to filter lodash chunks, with the latest version, I don't know how to do it.

I try following input, but result doesn't expected.

In old version 5.8.3, I just need input exlcude: ., include: lodash:

Maybe another issue, After I empty the inputs, there is no result:

The description is also very confused:

It means it support input bundle-*:* ?

I am closing this. As i am not going to work on this. If anyone want to provide feedback on how it should be done, instead of rant - very welcome to issues and PR.

My expect behavior is just the version before 5.9.0. Seems 5.9.0 change the filter behavior a lot

@btd is there any documentation anywhere that explains how to use the filters? Thanks :)

I cannot get the exclude/include filters to work. I don't want to repeat the previous comment but I really have no clue how it works.

There is unit test for this https://github.com/btd/rollup-plugin-visualizer/blob/master/shared/create-filter.test.ts
If you want create PR to update readme.

I perfectly understand that this change was very controversial. But i think it provides more flexibility in general way. You can search there was tickets about previous input/output filters also.

To me it looks like what ever i do people will complain. So until i see any reasonable proposal i am not going to change anything in this. I spend on this plugin my free time (you can see when first commit was done and how many years i am doing this for free), i do not receive any PRs or donations. I even do not use to for my daily work as it was in past. And still trying to provide support and maintenance.

It is opensource at the end and there is a button on top right to fork it. I will continue provide maintenance and support of my version.

@danielpza @stereokai i added small README section https://github.com/btd/rollup-plugin-visualizer/blob/master/README.md#include-and-exclude

It is just glob patterns. To be honest i first time in my career see that somebody prefer raw regexp to glob pattern.

Thank you @btd. This makes it a lot clearer.

@btd Wow, thank you very @btd, that's very thoughtful of you. I had figured it out by then but the addition to the readme will definitely come in handy later since I had also already forgot 😆
