glob-promise

Asynchronous file pattern matching

Use glob patterns to asynchronously find files and directories in your project that match the given pattern. The function returns a promise that resolves with an array of matching paths.

const glob = require('glob-promise');

async function findFiles(pattern) {
  try {
    const files = await glob(pattern);
    console.log(files);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error matching files:', error);
  }
}

findFiles('**/*.js');

Synchronous file pattern matching

Provides a synchronous method to perform file pattern matching, which can be useful in scenarios where asynchronous operations are not possible or desired.

const glob = require('glob-promise');

function findFilesSync(pattern) {
  try {
    const files = glob.sync(pattern);
    console.log(files);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error matching files:', error);
  }
}

findFilesSync('**/*.js');

Options customization

Allows customization of the file matching process by passing an options object. This can include ignoring certain patterns, specifying the root directory, and more.

const glob = require('glob-promise');

async function findFilesWithIgnores(pattern, ignores) {
  const options = { ignore: ignores };
  try {
    const files = await glob(pattern, options);
    console.log(files);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error matching files:', error);
  }
}

findFilesWithIgnores('**/*.js', ['node_modules/**']);
