Ability to exclude files from deletion after zipping.

[zekageri]

Right now if deleteOriginalAssets is true, the plugin deletes all original files.
I want to exclude files from deletion.

Currently:

new CompressionPlugin({
    filename: '[path][base].gz', // Use the .gz extension for compressed files
    algorithm: 'gzip',
    test: /\.(js|css|html|svg|json|...)$/, // Compress all types of files
    minRatio: Infinity, // Compress all files, regardless of size
    deleteOriginalAssets: true, // Delete the original uncompressed files
    exclude: "Images" // Exclude whole Images folder but it will not zip them
}),

Feature request:

new CompressionPlugin({
    filename: '[path][base].gz', // Use the .gz extension for compressed files
    algorithm: 'gzip',
    test: /\.(js|css|html|svg|json|...)$/, // Compress all types of files
    minRatio: Infinity, // Compress all files, regardless of size
    deleteOriginalAssets: true, // Delete the original uncompressed files
    excludeFromDeletion: "Images" // Exclude whole Images folder from delete after zipping.
}),

Do you want to send a PR, we can use:

deleteOriginalAssets: (filename) => {
  return /name/.test(filename);
}
