What is picomatch?

The picomatch npm package is a minimal matching utility that uses glob patterns to test, match, or parse strings. It is designed to be a faster and lighter alternative to other pattern matching libraries, with a focus on performance and accuracy.

What are picomatch's main functionalities?

Glob matching

Use picomatch to create a matcher function for glob patterns, which can then be used to test if strings match the pattern.

const picomatch = require('picomatch');
const isMatch = picomatch('*.js');
console.log(isMatch('file.js')); // true
console.log(isMatch('file.txt')); // false

Multiple patterns

Create a matcher function that can handle multiple patterns, including negation patterns, to match against strings.

const picomatch = require('picomatch');
const isMatch = picomatch(['*.js', '!foo.js']);
console.log(isMatch('file.js')); // true
console.log(isMatch('foo.js')); // false

Parse glob patterns

Parse glob patterns to analyze their structure and components, which can be useful for understanding the pattern or for further processing.

const picomatch = require('picomatch');
const result = picomatch.parse('*.js');
console.log(result);
