NestJS - exclude folder under watch mode

Question

I created a public folder within root directory to store user uploaded files. But under npm run start:dev mode, every time I upload a file, Nest has detected file change and restarts server. How can I do to avoid this? Thanks.

Dir structure:

-project
 -dist
 -src
 -public
 -(other files)

Answer 1

Insert the following in tsconfig.json:

...,
  "include": ["src"],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "dist",
    "public"
  ]

Answer 2

Under tsconfig.json include the below property immediately after exclude property

  "include": [ "src"]
