Magic Paths

Expand prefixed glob patterns into an array of matching files. The real advantage of this over using a glob matching library by itself is to be able to use path shortcuts that can reference one or more base location.

Instead of this: some/deeply/nested/folder/*.* you can set a prefix and reference the files in the folder like this nested:*.*. Very useful when the prefix references multiple locations.

Usage

var magic = require('magic-paths');

var options = {
    prefixes: {
        rel_fixture: 'test/fixtures/'
    }
};

// Fetch files (callback style)
magic.expand('rel_fixture:*.html', options, function(err, files) {
    // ...
});

// Fetch files (promise style)
magic.expand('rel_fixture:*.html', options).then(function(files) {
    // ...
}).catch(function(err){})

Note: - the trailing slash for directory prefixes is important. Prefixes may not necessarily be full directory paths so it's not possible to automagically resolve them as such.
