parse-glob
Parse a glob pattern into an object of tokens.
BREAKING CHANGES in 2.0
- all path-related properties are now on the
path
object - all boolean properties are now on the
is
object - adds
base
property
See the properties section for details.
Install with npm
npm i parse-glob --save
- parses 1,000+ glob patterns in 29ms (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7)
- Extensive unit tests (more than 1,000 lines), covering wildcards, globstars, character classes, brace patterns, extglobs, dotfiles and other complex patterns.
See the tests for hundreds of examples.
Usage
var parseGlob = require('parse-glob');
parseGlob('a/b/{c,d}/*.js');
Returns:
{ path:
{ dirname: 'a/b/{c,d}/',
filename: '*.js',
basename: '*',
extname: '.js',
ext: 'js' },
is: { glob: true, braces: true, negated: false, globstar: false,
dotfile: false, dotdir: false },
original: 'a/b/{c,d}/*.js',
pattern: 'a/b/{c,d}/*.js' }
Properties
The object returned by parseGlob has the following properties:
pattern
: the glob patternbase
: when true
is passed as the second argument, a base
path is extracted and stripped from pattern
. See more beloworiginal
: a copy of the original, unmodified glob patternpath
: file path segments
path.dirname
: directorypath.filename
: filename, including extensionpath.basename
: filename, without extensionpath.extname
: file extension, with dotpath.ext
: file extension, without dot
is
: an object with boolean information about the glob:
is.glob
: true if the pattern actually a glob patternis.negated
: true if it's a negation pattern (!**/foo.js
)is.globstar
: true if the pattern has a double star (**
)is.dotfile
: true if the pattern should match dotfilesis.dotdir
: true if the pattern should match dot-directories (like .git
)
base property
The base
property is created by taking any leading dirname segments in the pattern that do not contain any glob symbols (!*{}?(|)[]
). If a base cannot be extracted, the value of base
will be an empty string.
Examples
Without base
defined:
var tokens = parseGlob('a/b/{c,d}/*.js');
With base
defined:
var tokens = parseGlob('a/b/{c,d}/*.js', true);
The resulting object would be:
{ path:
{ dirname: 'a/b/{c,d}/',
filename: '*.js',
basename: '*',
extname: '.js',
ext: 'js' },
is: { glob: true, negated: false, globstar: false,
dotfile: false, dotdir: false },
original: 'a/b/{c,d}/*.js',
pattern: '{c,d}/*.js',
base: 'a/b' }
