Example Options

Common configuration options.

Add custom ignore

var ignore = datIgnore('/data/dir', {
    ignore: [
      '**/node_modules/**', 
      'path/to/file.js',
      'path/anyjs/**/*.js'
    ]
  })

Allow Hidden Files

var ignore = datIgnore('/data/dir', { ignoreHidden: false })

Change Dat Ignore Path

var ignore = datIgnore('/data/dir', {
    datignorePath: '~/.datignore'
  })

.datignore as string/buffer

Pass in a string as a newline delimited list of things to ignore.

var datIgnoreFile = fs.readFileSync('~/.datignore')
datIgnoreFile += '\n' + fs.readFileSync(path.join(dir, '.datignore'))
datIgnoreFile += '\n' + fs.readFileSync(path.join(dir, '.gitignore'))

var ignore = datIgnore('/data/dir', { datignore: datIgnoreFile })
