glob-resolve

resolves a glob filename array into it's segments and transforms it into a new array.

why?

use it when you want to transform the glob filename Array.

how does it work?

• it uses glob with variables. see: glob-var
• you can use the whole glob syntax in the src and dest pattern, as well as the glob-var variables starting with a colon :
• instead of the glob filename Array, glob-resolve returns a search object with:
  • src: glob-var object for the source pattern
  • dest: glob-var object for the destination pattern
• you are most likely interrested in the result.dest.path Array, which is the transformed glob filenames Array.

install

npm install glob-resolve

use

var resolve = require('glob-resolve');

// async
var src = __dirname + '/fixtures/:module/public/**';
var dest = __dirname + '/public/:module/**';
resolve(src, dest, function(err, result) {
    // result.dest.path is the transformed files array
    console.log('destination files array', result.dest.path);
});

//or sync version
var result = resolve.sync('fixtures/:module/public', 'public/:module');
// result.dest.path is the transformed files array
result == {
