[hakyll] Ignoring directories

[g***@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have a huge directory which I don't want the resource provider to
process. Could I use the ignoreFile mechanism to skip this directory? How?
My elementary attempt at ignoring the work2 directory is not working.

-- Custom configuration

myConfiguration :: Configuration
myConfiguration = defaultConfiguration {ignoreFile = ignoreFile'}
where
ignoreFile' path
| path == "work2" = False
| otherwise = ignoreFile defaultConfiguration path

Hello,

Since ignoreFile' takes a path, you can do quite a bit with it!

All of these functions should be usable if you import them:

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/filepath-1.4.0.0/docs/System-FilePath-Posix.html

In my site.hs I import System.FilePath's takeFileName:

https://github.com/zeckalpha/kyle.marek-spartz.org/blob/master/site.hs#L11

And then I use it in my ignoreFile':

https://github.com/zeckalpha/kyle.marek-spartz.org/blob/master/site.hs#L252L261

I think if you use takeDirectory, and Data.List's isPrefixOf, that
should work.

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/filepath-1.4.0.0/docs/System-FilePath-Posix.html#v:takeDirectory

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.8.1.0/docs/Data-List.html#v:isPrefixOf

Something like this:

ignoreFile' path
| "/directorytoignore" `isPrefixOf` takeDirectory path = True
| ...

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I just tried this..

-- Custom configuration

myConfiguration :: Configuration
myConfiguration = defaultConfiguration {ignoreFile = ignoreFile'}
where
ignoreFile' path
| "/work2" `isPrefixOf` takeDirectory path = True
| otherwise = ignoreFile defaultConfiguration path



Running ./site build or ./site watch still takes way too much time when
that huge directory is linked to /work2. Otherwise the site builds in less
than a second?

Will this ignoreFile mechanism still go through every file and apply the
rule to that file or will it completely ignore all subdirectories under
that prefix automatically.

If not this, could I alter the "providerDirectory" configuration to only
include a specific set of directories (basically all but this big one)?
