Ignoring resources

R.swift will discover resources used in your project automatically. To make sure you can continue to use R.swift in the rare case that a file gives problems it is possible to ignore resources.

How does it work?

Create a .rswiftignore file in the source root of your project, this file will automatically be discovered by R.swift. The format of the file is nearly the same as a .gitignore file. Wildcards like * and ** are supported and you can add comments by starting a line with a #.

Note: All patterns are file paths relative to the path of the .rswiftignore file.

Example

# Ignore a specific font file
fonts/myspecialfont.ttf

# Ignore all tiff and tif files in the images folder
images/*.tif
images/*.tiff

# Ignore all strings files wherever they are
**/*.strings

# Ignore all files containing '.ignore.'
**/*.ignore.*

Custom file location

It is also possible to call the binary with the --rswiftignore flag and give a custom location of the ignore file this way.
