parse-glob

Parse a glob pattern into an object of tokens.

Changes from v1.0.0 to v3.0.4

all path-related properties are now on the path object
all boolean properties are now on the is object
adds base property

See the properties section for details.

Install with npm

$ npm i parse-glob --save

parses 1,000+ glob patterns in 29ms (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7)
Extensive unit tests (more than 1,000 lines), covering wildcards, globstars, character classes, brace patterns, extglobs, dotfiles and other complex patterns.

See the tests for hundreds of examples.

Usage

var parseGlob = require('parse-glob');

Example

parseGlob('a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}');

Returns:

{ orig: 'a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}',
  is:
   { glob: true,
     negated: false,
     extglob: false,
     braces: true,
     brackets: false,
     globstar: true,
     dotfile: false,
     dotdir: false },
  glob: '**/*.{yml,json}',
  base: 'a/b/c',
  path:
   { dirname: 'a/b/c/**/',
     basename: '*.{yml,json}',
     filename: '*',
     extname: '.{yml,json}',
     ext: '{yml,json}' } }

Properties

The object returned by parseGlob has the following properties:

orig: a copy of the original, unmodified glob pattern
is: an object with boolean information about the glob:
- glob: true if the pattern actually a glob pattern
- negated: true if it's a negation pattern (!**/foo.js)
- extglob: true if it has extglobs (@(foo|bar))
- braces: true if it has braces ({1..2} or .{txt,md})
- brackets: true if it has POSIX brackets ([[:alpha:]])
- globstar: true if the pattern has a globstar (double star, **)
- dotfile: true if the pattern should match dotfiles
- dotdir: true if the pattern should match dot-directories (like .git)
glob: the glob pattern part of the string, if any
base: the non-glob part of the string, if any
path: file path segments
- dirname: directory
- basename: file name with extension
- filename: file name without extension
- extname: file extension with dot
- ext: file extension without dot

glob-base: Returns an object with the (non-glob) base path and the actual pattern. | homepage
glob-parent: Strips glob magic from a string to provide the parent path | homepage
glob-path-regex: Regular expression for matching the parts of glob pattern. | homepage
is-glob: Returns true if the given string looks like a glob pattern. | homepage
micromatch: Glob matching for javascript/node.js. A drop-in replacement and faster alternative to minimatch and multimatch. Just… more | homepage
