remove unnecessary files from npm package

[PopGoesTheWza]

Under some obscure ambiguous ava/eslint/lerna/typescript configuration, the tsconfig.json from this package ends up being parsed by the vscode eslint extensions.

This triggers a puzzling eslint parsing error (within vscode only) because of the rightfully missing dependency @sindresorhus/tsconfig

Possible workaround is to include @sindresorhus/tsconfig as a devDependency of the project where the issue occurs.

Another option could be to have the defer-to-connect npm package to only include the necessary files:

~/ref/defer-to-connect$ npm publish --dry-run

> defer-to-connect@1.1.1 prepublishOnly .
> npm run build


> defer-to-connect@1.1.1 build /Users/xxx/ref/defer-to-connect
> del-cli dist && tsc

Possible options are:

• blacklisting through .npmignore
• whitelisting by adding "files": ["dist"] in package.json

A quick follow up in order to document/share the correct solution to the original issue ( parsing error in vscode eslint extension.)

When working on a mono-repo, the vscode eslint extension may find it difficult to determine the correct working directory for each package. This is why the setting eslint.workingDirectories exists.

In my specific case, adding the following .vscode/settings.json to my project ensure vscode eslint extension doesn't mess up:

{
  "eslint.workingDirectories": [{ "pattern": "packages/*/src" }]
}
