bash-match

Match strings using bash. Does not work on windows, and does not read from the file system. This library requires that Bash 4.3 or higher is installed and is mostly used for checking parity in unit tests.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save bash-match

Install with yarn:

$ yarn add bash-match

Usage

var readme = require('bash-match');

var bash = require('bash-match');
console.log(bash('foo', 'f*'));
//=> true

console.log(bash('foo', 'b*'));
