[FEATURE] Project Wildcard Exclusion

[jeffdoolittle]

It would be nice to generate diagrams that exclude folders/projects with a given wildcard parameter, such as:

• **/*.Tests
• **/*.Tests.csproj

This would enable a much simpler and cleaner view in repositories where the test projects live next to their implementations, rather than in a separate tests folder with a different project root.

Yep this is a good idea.
Likely can use the (somewhat) new File Globbing package.

We should be able to use the existing parameters and still make it backwards compatible.

Ok, I'm working on PR right now.

@madushans PR is ready for your review.

#24

[madushans]

Hey sorry I'm away for a few days.. will have a look soon.

Can this feature be merged into the main branch? It's a great feature and at a quick glance the PR seems good to go.

hey @EdToro74 @jeffdoolittle
I've been away for a bit. I'll merge this soon along with a few other features and fixes to get a new version out. I think many of the similar requests to filter the output is better done in the frontend.

It seems like the most popular feature is getting the graph, which is really under-developed right now. So I'll focus more on building a more featured frontend, and eventually move this functionality there.

Looks like the exclusion is disregarded in the curernt PR, since it continues with the directory search regardless, after looking up project files.

I'm planning this feature for the front end piece anyway. So I'll do it there later.

Thanks for the quick reply, I've worked around the issue by just scripting out all the excludes. Looking forward to the integration when you get there!
