npm install globrex --save
- extended globbing: transform advance
ExtGlobfeatures - simple: no dependencies
- paths: split paths into multiple
RegExpsegments
const globrex = require('globrex');
const result = globrex('p*uck')
// => { regex: /^p.*uck$/, string: '^p.*uck$', segments: [ /^p.*uck$/ ] }
result.regex.test('pluck'); // trueType: function
Returns: { regex, string, segments }
Transform globs intp regular expressions. Returns object with the following properties:
Type: RegExp
JavaScript RegExp instance.
Note: Read more about how to use RegExp on MDN.
Type: String
Regex string representation of the glob.
Type: Array
Array of RegExp instances seperated by /.
This can be usable when working with paths or urls.
Example array could be:
[ /^foo$/, /^bar$/, /^([^\/]*)$/, '^baz\\.(md|js|txt)$' ]Note: This only makes sense for POSIX paths like /foo/bar/hello.js or URLs. Not globbing on regular strings.
Type: String
Glob string to transform.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Enable all advanced features from extglob.
Matching so called "extended" globs pattern like single character matching, matching ranges of characters, group matching, etc.
Note: Interprets
[a-d]as[abcd]. To match a literal-, include it as first or last character.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
When globstar is false globs like '/foo/*' are transformed to the following
'^\/foo\/.*$' which will match any string beginning with '/foo/'.
When the globstar option is true, the same '/foo/*' glob is transformed to
'^\/foo\/[^/]*$' which will match any string beginning with '/foo/' that does not have a '/' to the right of it. '/foo/*' will match: '/foo/bar', '/foo/bar.txt' but not '/foo/bar/baz' or '/foo/bar/baz.txt'.
Note: When globstar is
true,'/foo/**'is equivelant to'/foo/*'when globstar isfalse.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Be forgiving about mutiple slashes, like /// and make everything after the first / optional. This is how bash glob works.
Type: String
Default: ''
RegExp flags (e.g. 'i' ) to pass to the RegExp constructor.
Type: Boolean
Default: System OS
Split segment as a windows path, otherwise splut as unix. Defaults to the OS running the package.
