What is micromatch?

The micromatch npm package is a fast, minimal glob utility for node.js and JavaScript. It is used to parse, match, and expand glob patterns against strings to filter, validate, or manipulate file paths, names, and other string lists.

What are micromatch's main functionalities?

Matching glob patterns

Match an array of strings to a glob pattern. In this example, it filters the list to include only files ending with '.js'.

const micromatch = require('micromatch');
const result = micromatch(['foo.js', 'bar.js'], '*.js');
console.log(result); // ['foo.js', 'bar.js']

Negating glob patterns

Use negation patterns to exclude matches. This example matches all '.js' files but excludes 'foo.js'.

const micromatch = require('micromatch');
const result = micromatch(['foo.js', 'bar.js', 'baz.txt'], ['*.js', '!foo.js']);
console.log(result); // ['bar.js']

Testing a filepath

Test a single filepath against a glob pattern to see if it matches. In this case, 'foobar.js' is a match for '*.js'.

const micromatch = require('micromatch');
const isMatch = micromatch.isMatch('foobar.js', '*.js');
console.log(isMatch); // true

Expanding braces

Expand braces in glob patterns to match multiple patterns. This example matches 'foo.js' and 'foo1.js' with a single pattern.

const micromatch = require('micromatch');
const result = micromatch(['foo.js', 'foo1.js'], 'foo{,1}.js');
console.log(result); // ['foo.js', 'foo1.js']
