Visual-Studio-Code – How to exclude a directory from the Visual Studio Code “Explore” tab?

{
 "compilerOptions": {
 "target": "ES6"
 },
 "exclude" : [
 "node_modules"
 ]
}

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite default and user settings.

{
 "files.exclude": {
 "**/.git": true, // this is a default value
 "**/.DS_Store": true, // this is a default value

 "** /node_modules": true, // this excludes all folders 
 // named "node_modules" from 
 // the explore tree

 // alternative version
 "node_modules ": true // this excludes the folder 
 // only from the root of
 // your workspace 
 }
}

I am trying to exclude on the “Browse” tab in Visual Studio Code Multiple folders. For this, I added the following jsconfig.json to the root of the project:

{
 "compilerOptions": {< br /> "target": "ES6"
 },
 "exclude": [
 "node_modules"
 ]
}

But The “node_modules” folder is still visible in the directory tree. What am I doing wrong? Are there other options?

Use files.exclude:

>Go to File -> Preferences -> Settings (or on Mac code- >Preferences -> Settings)
>Select the Workspace Settings tab
>Add this code to the settings.json file shown on the right:

 // Place your settings in this file to overwrite default and user settings.

{
 "files.exclude": {
 "**/.git": true, / / this is a default value
 "**/.DS_Store": true, // this is a default value

 "**/node_modules": true, // this excludes all folders 
 // named "node_modules" from 
 // the explore tree

 // alternative version
 "node_modules": true // this excludes the folder 
 // only from the root of
 // your workspace 
 }
}

If you choose File-> Preferences-> User Settings then you are global for the current user Configure excluded folders.
