node-wildcard

simple wildcard matcher for string, arrays and objects, ... etc.

This module has the ability to pass in options to include non string values to be tested as well.

Allowed non-string types for inclusion are: number, boolean, regexp

There are also special non-string types that return filtered collections instead of a boolean.

Special non-string types: array, object

NB. Special types don't need to be included via the options.

see examples below.

eg.

var wildcard = require('node-wildcard');
var testObj = {
  'a.b': {},
  'a': {}
}
var testArray = ['a.b', 'a']

// ways to use
console.log(wildcard('a', 'a.*' )) // => false
console.log(wildcard('a.', 'a.*' )) // => true
console.log(wildcard(testObj, 'a.*' )) // => { 'a.b': {} }
console.log(wildcard(testArray, 'a.*' )) // => [ 'a.b' ]
console.log(wildcard(1233, '123*')) // => false
console.log(wildcard(false, 'fal*')) // => false
console.log(wildcard(/false/, '*fal*')) // => false

// with options
// include property must be an array
var options = {include: ['number', 'boolean', 'regexp']}

console.log(wildcard(143, '123*', options)) // => false
console.log(wildcard(1233, '123*' , options)) // => true
console.log(wildcard(false, 'fal*' , options)) // => true
console.log(wildcard(/false/, '*fal*' , options)) // => true
