Configuration Guide

The Cleaner is highly configurable. You can control which directories and files are deleted by editing the cleaner_config.json file.

Here’s a breakdown of each configuration option:

• directories_to_remove: Specifies directory names that the app should delete if found within the target directory.
• file_extensions_to_remove: Lists file extensions to be deleted (e.g., .log, .tmp). Supports regex patterns if matchRegex is set to true.
• exclude_directories: Directories that should not be deleted, even if they match the directories_to_remove criteria.
• exclude_files: Files that should not be deleted, even if they match the file_extensions_to_remove criteria.
• matchRegex: When true, enables regex pattern matching for file_extensions_to_remove.

Example configuration file (cleaner_config.json):

```json { “directories_to_remove”: [“node_modules”, “dist”, “build”], “file_extensions_to_remove”: [“.log”, “.tmp”], “exclude_directories”: [“.git”, “.svn”], “exclude_files”: [“README.md”, “config.json”], “matchRegex”: true }

Explanation of Regex Use

If matchRegex is enabled, file_extensions_to_remove can contain regex patterns. For example: • .temp will match any file that starts with “.temp” just like using %like% in SQL.

By customizing this configuration, you can tailor the Cleaner to specific project needs.
