Auto-import configuration cannot override default dirs

[Sbrjt]

Feature Request

I'm using Auto-imports. It seems I can only extend the default dirs, but can't override them.

The docs say:

By default, WXT automatically sets up auto-imports for some of your project directories:

• <srcDir>/components/*
• <srcDir>/composables/*
• <srcDir>/hooks/*
• <srcDir>/utils/*

Not all developers like auto-imports. To disable them, set imports to false.

I'd like to able to:

• disable the default dirs but keep auto-imports on
• override dirs
• extend dirs

Can you elaborate more on this?

You want the srcDir to disabled but want some other dir let's say custom_dir (same location as srcDir) to work auto-imports?
You also want to be able to extend more dirs except for just the given default dirs like components, hooks, etc.?

Yeah, I'd like more context on this as well. Why do you want to disable them? Are they getting in your way? Do you have a non-standard project structure?

[Sbrjt]

For eg, I'd like to auto-import react apis, but I don't want to auto import from <srcDir>/components/* or <srcDir>/hooks/* .

I just prefer components and hooks to be imported explicitly so it's clear where they're coming from.

Make sense, thanks for the context.

Here's how nuxt does it: https://nuxt.com/docs/4.x/guide/concepts/auto-imports#partially-disabling-auto-imports

Would that fit your use-case? Basically it just allows for disabling directory imports while keeping library ones. If so, We should add a scan option as well, I like that approach.
