to-absolute-glob
Advanced tools
Package description
The to-absolute-glob package is used to convert glob patterns into absolute paths. This is particularly useful when working with file system operations that require absolute paths. The package ensures that the glob patterns are resolved to absolute paths based on the process's current working directory or a specified base directory.
Convert relative glob to absolute
This feature allows you to convert a relative glob pattern into an absolute path glob pattern. The 'cwd' option specifies the base directory from which the glob should be resolved.
const toAbsoluteGlob = require('to-absolute-glob');
const absoluteGlob = toAbsoluteGlob('*.js', { cwd: '/some/dir' });
console.log(absoluteGlob);Handle negation patterns
The package can also handle negation patterns (patterns that start with '!') and convert them into absolute paths while preserving the negation.
const toAbsoluteGlob = require('to-absolute-glob');
const absoluteGlob = toAbsoluteGlob('!*.js', { cwd: '/some/dir' });
console.log(absoluteGlob);Globby is a user-friendly glob matching library that supports multiple patterns. It is built on top of the 'glob' and 'fast-glob' packages and provides a simpler API for matching files. It can also convert relative paths to absolute paths, similar to to-absolute-glob, but offers more features like expanding directories and array of patterns.
Fast-glob is a fast implementation of node's glob module that provides a similar functionality to to-absolute-glob. It supports absolute path resolution but is more focused on performance and additional features like stream API, error tolerance, and more extensive pattern matching capabilities.
Readme
Make a glob pattern absolute, ensuring that negative globs and patterns with trailing slashes are correctly handled.
Install with npm:
npm install to-absolute-glob
Or install with yarn:
yarn add to-absolute-glob
const toAbsGlob = require('to-absolute-glob');
toAbsGlob('a/*.js');
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'
Given the current project folder (cwd) is /dev/foo/:
makes a path absolute
toAbsGlob('a');
//=> '/dev/foo/a'
makes a glob absolute
toAbsGlob('a/*.js');
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'
retains trailing slashes
toAbsGlob('a/*/');
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*/'
retains trailing slashes with cwd
toAbsGlob('./fixtures/whatsgoingon/*/', {cwd: __dirname});
//=> '/dev/foo/'
makes a negative glob absolute
toAbsGlob('!a/*.js');
//=> '!/dev/foo/a/*.js'
from a cwd
toAbsGlob('a/*.js', {cwd: 'foo'});
//=> '/dev/foo/foo/a/*.js'
makes a negative glob absolute from a cwd
toAbsGlob('!a/*.js', {cwd: 'foo'});
//=> '!/dev/foo/foo/a/*.js'
from a root path
toAbsGlob('/a/*.js', {root: 'baz'});
//=> '/dev/foo/baz/a/*.js'
from a root slash
toAbsGlob('/a/*.js', {root: '/'});
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'
from a negative root path
toAbsGlob('!/a/*.js', {root: 'baz'});
//=> '!/dev/foo/baz/a/*.js'
from a negative root slash
toAbsGlob('!/a/*.js', {root: '/'});
//=> '!/dev/foo/a/*.js'
