Add paths to REQUIRE_EXCLUDE

[Tyrdall]

Hi, I need to speed up my deployments. Therefore I want to exclude some scripts from optimization, for example, 'ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js' and all its dependencies and plugins. Currently it takes minutes to run collectstatic, so is there any best practice to add whole paths to the REQUIRE_EXCLUDE setting, like 'ckeditor'.

There's no functionality to do this at present. You could perform a glob within your settings.py file.

Alternatively, I'll take a pull request that adds glob support to the REQUIRE_EXCLUDE setting.

yea, I'd also like to exclude the node_modules directory for example.

How about using a regex?

Something like: https://github.com/Tyrdall/django-require/commit/115d2ff30943458f58bcea5eaebe314cddae94b4

To exclude some files from uglyfying you can use the following setting in your app.built.js:

({
    fileExclusionRegExp: /^(folder1|folder2|folder3)$/

})

I suppose that the Django convention is to use a regex, rather than a glob pattern.
