Exclude a folder from automatic API generation in Convex?
I would like to exclude a specific folder from automatic API generation.
Specifically, I want to have a ./helpers/feature folders to store helper functions that should not be treated as API functions. However, since these helpers are used only by convex, I would like to keep them inside rather than moving them outside convex/.
Is there an official way to configure this, like a .convexignore file or some setting in convex.json? It seems like there is a "exclude" array in convex.json but putting my folder path inside the array is not working.

You can include your helper function files in the convex directory without any undesirable side effects as far as I know. What are you seeing?
