$ npm i parse-glob --save
- parses 1,000+ glob patterns in 29ms (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7)
- Extensive unit tests (more than 1,000 lines), covering wildcards, globstars, character classes, brace patterns, extglobs, dotfiles and other complex patterns.
See the tests for hundreds of examples.
Usage
var parseGlob = require('parse-glob');
Example
parseGlob('a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}');
Returns:
{ orig: 'a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}',
is:
{ glob: true,
negated: false,
extglob: false,
braces: true,
brackets: false,
globstar: true,
dotfile: false,
dotdir: false },
glob: '**/*.{yml,json}',
base: 'a/b/c',
path:
{ dirname: 'a/b/c/**/',
basename: '*.{yml,json}',
filename: '*',
extname: '.{yml,json}',
ext: '{yml,json}' } }
Properties
The object returned by parseGlob has the following properties:
orig
: a copy of the original, unmodified glob patternis
: an object with boolean information about the glob:glob
: true if the pattern actually a glob patternnegated
: true if it's a negation pattern (!**/foo.js
)extglob
: true if it has extglobs (@(foo|bar)
)braces
: true if it has braces ({1..2}
or.{txt,md}
)brackets
: true if it has POSIX brackets ([[:alpha:]]
)globstar
: true if the pattern has a globstar (double star,**
)dotfile
: true if the pattern should match dotfilesdotdir
: true if the pattern should match dot-directories (like.git
)
