Laravel Filesystem get all directories and exclude some

[leo95batista]

as the title of these questions indicates. I want to get all the directories from a specific path and exclude some.

Example:

I have the following structure in my resources directory:

resources
├───...
├───js
│   ├───A
│   ├───B
│   └───C
├───...

And I want to get all the directories in the js folder, but exclude the C folder. So I do the following:

use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;

class MyClass
{
    public function example()
    {
        $filesystem = new Filesystem();

        $directories = $filesystem->directories(resource_path('js'));

        return $directories;
    }
}

I wonder how I can exclude a certain directory (in this case C directory) when I make the call to:

$filesystem->directories();

Doing some research, I have found the following:

This is the directories method inside src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php

    public function directories($directory)
    {
        $directories = [];

        foreach (Finder::create()->in($directory)->directories()->depth(0)->sortByName() as $dir) {
            $directories[] = $dir->getPathname();
        }

        return $directories;
    }

As you can see, it uses the class: symfony\finder\Finder.php to iterate over a certain directory. This class (Finder) contains a method called exclude, I was wondering how I could call this method on the directories method provided by the Filesystem class?
