Advanced tools
Package description
The @types/minimatch package provides TypeScript type definitions for the minimatch library, which is a utility for matching strings against Unix shell style patterns. It enables developers to use minimatch in TypeScript projects with type checking, enhancing development experience by providing autocompletion and error checking based on the expected types of minimatch's functions and options.
Pattern Matching
Match strings against a specified glob pattern. This is useful for filtering file names, paths, or other strings according to a pattern defined in a way similar to Unix shell commands.
import minimatch from 'minimatch';
const match = minimatch('path/to/file.js', '*.js');
console.log(match); // true or falseUsing Options
Customize the matching behavior using options. For example, 'nocase' enables case-insensitive matching. This allows for more flexible and powerful string matching based on specific requirements.
import minimatch from 'minimatch';
const options = { nocase: true };
const match = minimatch('path/to/FILE.js', '*.js', options);
console.log(match); // trueMicromatch is a modern and faster alternative to minimatch with a similar feature set. It offers fine-grained control over the matching and globbing behavior, supports multiple patterns, and has a more extensive list of options for customization. Compared to @types/minimatch, micromatch provides its own TypeScript types, eliminating the need for separate type definitions.
Glob is another popular package for matching files using the Unix shell pattern syntax. It not only matches patterns against strings but also implements filesystem operations to find files matching the patterns. While @types/minimatch focuses on providing type definitions for string pattern matching, glob extends the functionality to actual file system querying, which can be more useful in scenarios involving file manipulation and searching.
