Development dependencies are never copied in any case. You don't need to ignore it explicitly. Hidden files are not ignored by default, but all files that should be ignored, are ignored by default.
Default pattern `**/*` **is not added to your custom** if some of your patterns is not ignore (i.e. not starts with !). package.json and `**/node_modules/**/*` (only production dependencies will be copied) is added to your custom in any case. All default ignores are added in any case — you don't need to repeat it if you configure own patterns.
May be specified in the platform options (e.g. in the [mac](mac.md)).
You may also specify custom source and destination directories by using FileSet objects instead of simple glob patterns.
```json [ { "from": "path/to/source", "to": "path/to/destination", "filter": ["**/*", "!foo/*.js"] } ] ```
You can use [file macros](./file-patterns.md#file-macros) in the from and to fields as well. from and to can be files and you can use this to [rename](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/1119) a file while packaging.

interface FuseOptionsV1

interface FuseOptionsV1 {}

All options come from [@electron/fuses](https://github.com/electron/fuses) Ref: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/electron/electron/refs/heads/main/docs/tutorial/fuses.md

property enableCookieEncryption

enableCookieEncryption?: boolean;

The cookieEncryption fuse toggles whether the cookie store on disk is encrypted using OS level cryptography keys. By default the sqlite database that Chromium uses to store cookies stores the values in plaintext. If you wish to ensure your apps cookies are encrypted in the same way Chrome does then you should enable this fuse. Please note it is a one-way transition, if you enable this fuse existing unencrypted cookies will be encrypted-on-write but if you then disable the fuse again your cookie store will effectively be corrupt and useless. Most apps can safely enable this fuse.

property enableEmbeddedAsarIntegrityValidation

enableEmbeddedAsarIntegrityValidation?: boolean;

The embeddedAsarIntegrityValidation fuse toggles an experimental feature on macOS that validates the content of the app.asar file when it is loaded. This feature is designed to have a minimal performance impact but may marginally slow down file reads from inside the app.asar archive. Currently, ASAR integrity checking is supported on:
- macOS as of electron>=16.0.0 - Windows as of electron>=30.0.0
For more information on how to use asar integrity validation please read the [Asar Integrity](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/docs/tutorial/asar-integrity.md) documentation.

property enableNodeCliInspectArguments

enableNodeCliInspectArguments?: boolean;

The nodeCliInspect fuse toggles whether the --inspect, --inspect-brk, etc. flags are respected or not. When disabled it also ensures that SIGUSR1 signal does not initialize the main process inspector. Most apps can safely disable this fuse.

property enableNodeOptionsEnvironmentVariable

enableNodeOptionsEnvironmentVariable?: boolean;

The nodeOptions fuse toggles whether the [NODE_OPTIONS](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#node_optionsoptions) and [NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/doc/api/cli.md#node_extra_ca_certsfile) environment variables are respected. The NODE_OPTIONS environment variable can be used to pass all kinds of custom options to the Node.js runtime and isn't typically used by apps in production. Most apps can safely disable this fuse.

property grantFileProtocolExtraPrivileges

grantFileProtocolExtraPrivileges?: boolean;

The grantFileProtocolExtraPrivileges fuse changes whether pages loaded from the file:// protocol are given privileges beyond what they would receive in a traditional web browser. This behavior was core to Electron apps in original versions of Electron but is no longer required as apps should be [serving local files from custom protocols](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/docs/tutorial/security.md#18-avoid-usage-of-the-file-protocol-and-prefer-usage-of-custom-protocols) now instead. If you aren't serving pages from file:// you should disable this fuse. The extra privileges granted to the file:// protocol by this fuse are incompletely documented below:
- file:// protocol pages can use fetch to load other assets over file:// - file:// protocol pages can use service workers - file:// protocol pages have universal access granted to child frames also running on file:// protocols regardless of sandbox settings

property loadBrowserProcessSpecificV8Snapshot

loadBrowserProcessSpecificV8Snapshot?: boolean;

The loadBrowserProcessSpecificV8Snapshot fuse changes which V8 snapshot file is used for the browser process. By default Electron's processes will all use the same V8 snapshot file. When this fuse is enabled the browser process uses the file called browser_v8_context_snapshot.bin for its V8 snapshot. The other processes will use the V8 snapshot file that they normally do.

property onlyLoadAppFromAsar

onlyLoadAppFromAsar?: boolean;

The onlyLoadAppFromAsar fuse changes the search system that Electron uses to locate your app code. By default Electron will search in the following order app.asar -> app -> default_app.asar. When this fuse is enabled the search order becomes a single entry app.asar thus ensuring that when combined with the embeddedAsarIntegrityValidation fuse it is impossible to load non-validated code.

property resetAdHocDarwinSignature

resetAdHocDarwinSignature?: boolean;

Resets the app signature, specifically used for macOS. Note: This should be unneeded since electron-builder signs the app directly after flipping the fuses. Ref: https://github.com/electron/fuses?tab=readme-ov-file#apple-silicon

property runAsNode

runAsNode?: boolean;

The runAsNode fuse toggles whether the ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE environment variable is respected or not. Please note that if this fuse is disabled then process.fork in the main process will not function as expected as it depends on this environment variable to function. Instead, we recommend that you use [Utility Processes](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/docs/api/utility-process.md), which work for many use cases where you need a standalone Node.js process (like a Sqlite server process or similar scenarios).

If you specify update, the bundle in the package overwrites the version on disk, and any files not contained in the package will be left intact; this is appropriate when you are delivering an update-only package.
Another effect of update is that the package bundle will not be installed at all if there is not already a version on disk; this allows a package to deliver an update for an app that the user might have deleted.
