The ability to exclude a directory from watching in tailwind.config.js would be very helpful.

Tailwind has an option to include directories to purge CSS classes from. But an exclude option could come very handy in some situations. Mostly we need to exclude node_modules, assets and others. Is it possible to add this feature in Tailwindcss?

I believe this feature is already available in Tailwind. You should be able to add negating patterns to add exclusion globs:

module.exports = {
  content: [
    './src/**/*.js',
    '!./src/foo',
  ],
};

It's working fine.

module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./src/**/*.{html,js}",
    "!./src/**/node_modules/**/*.{html,js}" // <- Add
  ],
  ...
}

Build speed has been improved.
