Pattern

Specify the pattern that defines the current scope. The following elements and structures can be used:

  1. The file: modifier. The element is mandatory.

  2. The * asterisk to denote any symbol in a filename or file extension.

  3. Logical operators AND (&&), OR (||), and NOT (!).

Storing empty or incorrect patterns is not allowed. In such cases, JetBrains Rider shows a Syntax Error warning.

Examples

  • file:*.js||file:*.coffee- include all JavaScript and CoffeeScript files.

  • file:*js&&!file:*.min.*- include all JavaScript files except those that were generated through minification, which is indicated by the min extension.

  • !file:*/.npm//*- exclude all .npm folders.
