Exclude certain files from being copied

What I'd prefer to do is something along the lines of...

import copyStaticFiles, { filter } from 'esbuild-copy-static-files'

const EXCLUDED_FILES = [...]

function excludeFilter(src, dst) {
  if (EXCLUDED_FILES.find(f => src === f) {
    return false;
  }

  return filter(src, dst)
}

...
  plugins: [
    copyStaticFiles({ filter: excludeFilter })
  ]
}

Yep! Feel free to open a PR if you want to arrive at a solution that lets you:

• Define a custom filter function (current behavior)
• Augment / extend the existing filter function with a new filter function of your choosing

Hi,

If you were to re-implement the filter function what would it look like?

[oogali]

Otherwise, to cover my use case, I'd end up duplicating all of your filter() code and the functions it depends on into my external function just to pass it back in to your scope as an argument.

Yes - I think this would be an excellent addition - exporting the filter function to be able to re-use it is very useful.

Ha, I'm actually looking into re-using the filter function and I've just realised that 90% of this plugin is the filter function and its dependencies.
