virtual directory
=================

input
* src directory
* exclusions
* output directory

output
* a virtual directory symlinked without the exclusions

cli usage

virtual-directory --dest virtual-project --src my-project --exclusions "node_modules/execa node_modules/express"

.virtualdirectory file usage

create .virtualdirectory file in the source directory in the correct format and just run the command virtual-directory from that directory

$3

``
/dest/directory

/src/directory/exclusion/1
/src/directory/exclusion/2
/src/directory/exclusion/3 -> /different/src/directory/3
/src/directory/very/very/very/deep/exclusion
`

node api usage


`ts
import virtualDirectory from 'virtual-directory'

await virtualDirectory(
'src/directory/',
'dest/directory',
['node_modules/@types/react', 'node_modules/@types/react-dom'],
)
`

watch mode


enable watch mode by adding --watch flag

what it does

let's say you have this file structure
`
project/
|- node_modules/
|- @babel
|- ...
|- @types
|- ...
|- express
|- ...
|- react
|- ...
|- src
|- index.ts
|- executor.ts
|- types.ts
|- .nvmrc
|- tsconfig.json
`

but for some reason you don't want the .nvmrc file, react and express,

write the command

virtual-directory virtual-project project .nvmrc node_modules/express node_modules/react

which will generate this file structure

`
virtual-project/
|- node_modules/
|- @babel (linked to project/node_modules/@babel)
|- ...
|- @types (linked to project/node_modules/@types)
|- ...
|- src (linked to project/src)
|- tsconfig.json (linked to project/tsconfig.json)
