Promise version of glob

Match files using the patterns the shell uses, like stars and stuff.

license release semantic

Note: This is just a Promise wrapped version of glob

Important

Glob has native Promise support as of v9.0.0, please use it directly. I will not issue a deprecation notice on this package, because I can't deal with the volume of angry tickets that will follow.

Install

npm install glob-promise glob
NOTE

glob is set as a peerDependency in package.json

  • npm >= 7 will automatically install peerDependencies
  • npm <= 6 will not automatically install peerDependencies.

You will need to manually add glob as a dependency to your project for glob-promise to work.
