Ignore files / folders

[martintuk]

Thanks for this awesome tool!

Any way to ignore files/folders from being watched? like IDE folders and stuff.

Thanks again!

Unfortunately, I don't think is possible at the moment but it is a priority feature to have in the backlog. I don't think it requires much effort to be implemented will try to add it when I get some spare time.

The relevant code is in https://github.com/apogiatzis/docker-compose-livereloader/blob/master/src/reloader.py#L29

@apogiatzis Take a glance at this code please
https://github.com/stevekrenzel/autoreload/blob/master/autoreload#L12
I tried it and It works well. What about using it as starting point to implement custom observer for livereloader?

Also watchdog has option to handle only specified patterns. It looks like several lines of code to change @martintuk

Oh, I see PatternMatchingEventHandler is already used livereloader!

Who can add env var for patterns? 🙂
