The has-glob npm package is a utility that checks if a string contains a glob pattern. It is useful for determining whether a given string should be treated as a glob pattern, which is often used in file matching and searching operations.
Check if a string contains a glob pattern
This feature allows you to check if a given string contains a glob pattern. In the code sample, the string 'src/**/*.js' is checked, and the result is true because it contains a glob pattern.
const hasGlob = require('has-glob');
const result = hasGlob('src/**/*.js');
console.log(result); // trueCheck if a string does not contain a glob pattern
This feature allows you to check if a given string does not contain a glob pattern. In the code sample, the string 'src/index.js' is checked, and the result is false because it does not contain a glob pattern.
const hasGlob = require('has-glob');
const result = hasGlob('src/index.js');
console.log(result); // falseThe is-glob package checks if a string is a glob pattern. It is similar to has-glob but focuses on determining if the entire string is a glob pattern rather than checking for the presence of a glob pattern within the string.
Micromatch is a powerful globbing library that provides extensive pattern matching capabilities. It can be used to match files using glob patterns and offers more advanced features compared to has-glob, such as custom matching functions and extended glob syntax.
Minimatch is a glob matching library that works similarly to micromatch. It is used to match file paths against glob patterns and provides a range of options for fine-tuning the matching behavior. Minimatch is more feature-rich compared to has-glob.
Returns
trueif an array has a glob pattern.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save has-glob
var hasGlob = require('has-glob');
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '*.js']);
//=> true
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'baz']);
//=> false
True
The following all return true:
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '*.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '!*.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '!foo'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '!foo.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '**/abc.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/*.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/{a,b}.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/{a..z}.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/{a..z..2}.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/@(a).js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/!(a).js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/+(a).js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/*(a).js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/?(a).js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/@.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/!.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/+.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/*.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/?.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/(aaa|bbb).js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/?.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '?.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '[abc].js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '[^abc].js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'a/b/c/[a-z].js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', '[a-j]*[^c]b/c'])
//=> true
Also works with strings:
hasGlob('*.js')
hasGlob('!*.js')
hasGlob('!foo')
hasGlob('!foo.js')
hasGlob('**/abc.js')
hasGlob('abc/*.js')
//=> true
False
The following all return false:
hasGlob([])
hasGlob([null])
hasGlob([undefined])
hasGlob([{}])
hasGlob(['.'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'aa'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc.js'])
hasGlob(['foo', 'bar', 'abc/def/ghi.js'])
//=> false
