Matching Pattern for Email Templates

[rwieruch]

At the moment, the email template dev server looks for the /emails folder. We can define a --dir, however, is it also possible to define a file matching pattern so that I can just point the --dir to src/? Reason: I would like to nest the emails accordingly in my feature folders.

I'm so sorry, could not follow what you mean with this. Could you rephrase it?

Sorry for being to brief here. What I would want is a feature folder structure like the following:

src/
--/components
--/features
----/authentication
------/components
------/queries
------/actions
------/emails
--------/email-password-reset.tsx
--------/email-organization-invite.tsx
------/hooks
----/posts
------/components
------/queries
------/actions
------/emails
--------/email-post-created.tsx
--------/email-post-deleted.tsx
------/hooks

If I run email": "email dev", all these emails in the features folders are not picked up. I could define a dir like:

"email": "email dev --dir src/emails"

But this does not help me. I would want to define a matching pattern instead:

"email": "email dev --match src/**/emails/*.tsx"

Hmm, yeah, I get it now. We don't really have anything that allows for this, this might be an interesting idea if anyone else is interested, but it's a pretty specific use case here as far as I can see. I'll convert the discussion to an idea one.

Understood. I think this becomes a thing in larger applications where you do not have technical slices anymore. Same when it is not viable anymore to have a tests/ top-level folder, because you want to have them co-located to your feature folders. I know that Jest went through the same development for their matching patterns several years ago. But anyway, thanks for the consideration!
