How do we ignore node_modules? We need docs about the configs | Vite Land | Page 1

I have started a new project with Vite, where I have the following project structure

the server folder is a node app, and the root folder is a react app, both use Vite, but this is the first time I'm using Vite, the doc seems really incomplete so I'm not sure if there is a better way of doing this, please let me know if you're aware of a better way of doing this.

    └── vite.config.js

I tried this in the server/vite.config.js

export default defineConfig({
  server: {
    // vite server configs, for details see [vite doc](https://vitejs.dev/config/#server-host)
    port: 7000,
    // this doesnt work
    // watch: {
    //   ignored: 'node_modules',
    // },
  },
  plugins: [
    ...VitePluginNode({
      adapter: 'express',
      appPath: './index.js',
      // Optional, default: 'viteNodeApp'
      // the name of named export of you app from the appPath file
      exportName: 'viteNodeApp',
      swcOptions: {},
    }),
  ],
  optimizeDeps: {
    // this also doesnt work
    exclude: ['node_modules'],
  },
});

I get hundreds of errors like this when I run vite

✘ [ERROR] Big integer literals are not available in the configured target environment ("chrome87", "edge88", "es2019", "firefox78", "safari13.1")
