dotfile-regex

Regular expresson for matching dotfiles.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save dotfile-regex

Usage

To be considered a dot file:

• the path must contain a dot that is at the beginning of the string or following a slash
• the next character after the dot must not be another dot
• one or more characters must follow the dot
• a slash must not follow the dot

To check for dot directories, use dotdir-regex instead.

var dotfileRegex = require('dotfile-regex');

dotfileRegex().test('a/b/c.js');
//=> false

dotfileRegex().test('./git');
//=> false

dotfileRegex().test('.git/foo');
//=> false

dotfileRegex().test('.gitignore');
//=> true

dotfileRegex().test('a/b/c/.gitignore');
//=> true
