Possible to ignore/exclude file/folder from .editorconfig?

Question

Is it possible to ignore/exclude file/folder from .editorconfig?

Reason: I have a /vendor folder with third party files. I don't want the folder to inherit any of my .editorconfig configs.

I found the EditorConfig-Properties page and seems like there's no property to exclude folders. Maybe there's a hack to make it possible?

current config

root = true

[*]
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
indent_style = tab

Answer 1

Another solution to ignore /vendor folder:

• match the path you want to ignore
• set unset to property you want to ignore

For example, if you have:

• /index.html
• /vendor
• /.editorconfig

You can match all files in the vendor directory in your .editorconfig and ignore all properties (set to IDE's default):

# top-most EditorConfig file root = true  # Ignore paths [/vendor/**] charset = unset end_of_line = unset insert_final_newline = unset trim_trailing_whitespace = unset indent_style = unset indent_size = unset 

Answer 2

You can create an .editorconfig file in vender/ with a simple root = true line.

Answer 3

Best way I've found is to add this to an otherwise blank .editorconfig in the folder you want to ignore:

[*]
generated_code = true
