+Exclude JavaScript or TypeScript files that do not need to be transformed by [SWC](https://rsbuild.dev/guide/configuration/swc).

+Files configured in `source.exclude` will not be transformed by SWC, but the referenced files will still be bundled into the outputs.
+
+If you want certain files not to be bundled into the outputs, you can use the following methods:
+
+- **bundle mode**: Use Rspack's [IgnorePlugin](https://rspack.dev/plugins/webpack/ignore-plugin).
+- **bundleless mode**: Use `source.entry` to configure the corresponding glob expression, refer to [Set entry](/config/lib/bundle#bundle-false).
