Add exclude parameter for _api/* files

With sensitive default value (like ignoring .test and .spec files)

I currently am trying to build my application with some png files in a "hidden" folder in /api, at /api/_images/*.png for example, but this yields a build error saying no loader for png files is provided.

Is this a similar issue? Why is Vite trying to bundle these png files?

Could you create a small reproduction repo so that I can see what you are trying to do?

I would recommend moving the .png files outside of /api folder. Vite defaults to public folder for this kind of usage.

OK thank you I can try that. I believe my confusion is coming from a misunderstanding of Vite as a client app bundler and how it relates to Vercel's API folder/serverless functions. I wasn't aware that I could include files from the "client code" side of things in the Vercel function but given it's all just a file system I suppose it makes sense. Perhaps I'm still in the client/server paradigm which is blurred in this context.
