Ignoring unhandled files matched by pattern (alternative to Prettier’s --ignore-unknown)

[valtlai]

With Prettier, I can use the following to format staged files:

"lint-staged": {
  "*": "prettier --write --ignore-unknown"
},

Here, the option --ignore-unknown makes unknown file types to be silently ignored. This way I don’t have to list all the supported file extensions in the glob pattern of lint-staged, like *{css,html,js,json,md,ts}.

Rome seems to have no such option. Could it be added? Note that the potential option should apply to rome check in addition to rome format.

+1 on this one...

When any of the stage file is of a format that is currently not supported by rome, this ends up with in × unhandled file type error

While the workaround to list all supported file type is pretty simple to apply, it has one major downside: It would need to be updated manually every time rome adds support for new file type.

An option like --ignore-unknown in prettier would definitely be a nicer touch

It is also a problem when using rome to format files being committed to git, and it gets passed a (husky or otherwise) shell script. Since pre-commit hooks have no extension the unhandled files error shows up. Very annoying when you (are trying to) rebase a long list of commit.

That sounds like a reasonable request, and I suppose ALL commands - rome format, rome check, rome ci - should benefit from this new argument.
