Using site.copy() with glob

[valtlai]

I have a directory with both .svg and other files. I would like to copy the files with site.copy("./assets"), but then the .svg files inside are copied without going through the plugin. If site.copy() would support globs, I could do site.copy("./assets/**/*.!(svg)") to copy all but the .svg files in the directory.

If this gets implemented, maybe site.ignore() should support globs too.

I didn't implement glob for performance reasons. Ignoring a directory is easier and faster because the source scanner stops when it reaches to this directory so it doesn't continue scanning and evaluating the files inside this directory (think, for example in a node_modules folder).

Maybe, a way to do it without affecting to performance could be by separating the glob patterns and folders names in two different Map, but I haven't done much research.

For site.ignore() you can just allow passing in a function like this:

site.ignore((absFileName) => { // return true to keep, false to ignore })

This way you can support almost any rule.

Implemented functions support to site.ignore(). I'm closing this.
