FR: Ignore specific rules in "Folders to ignore"

[musjj]

Is Your Feature Request Related to a Problem? Please Describe.

I have a template file like this:

---
modified: <% tp.date.now() %>
---

I don't want the value replaced here, because it's just a template.

Describe the Solution You'd Like

Add an option to ignore specific rules in "Folders to ignore" or "Files to ignore".

Please include an example where applicable:

---
modified: <% tp.date.now() %>
---

---
modified: <% tp.date.now() %>
---

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

I guess an alternative would be to omit the field from the template and let the linter add it afterwards. But that feels like a hack.

Hey @musjj , have you looked at the different ways of ignoring files and rules throughout a file (see here)?

The options that I recall off of the top of my head are as follows:

• Ignore a folder
  • I ignore my templates folder, but that means no rules run
• Ignore a file
  • Again, all rules are ignored
• Ignore a specific rule
  • This happens in the YAML frontmatter and is not great for templates as it will get carried onto anything that is generated from the template
• Ignore rules on a section of a file
  • Ignores all rules for a section of the file, but is not great for the same reasons a specific rule ignore is not for templates

Thank you! Adding this to my template's frontmatter fixes the issue:

disabled rules:
  - yaml-timestamp

Wait never mind, this means that files generated from the template will have the rule disabled 🤔.

Yeah, I don't think there's a perfect solution right now, but ignoring the entire folder is an ok workaround for now. The file will get formatted afterwards anyways.

I think an option to ignore specific rules on each entry of "Folders to ignore" would be wonderful.
