Useful when you want to accept loose string input and regexes/globs are too convoluted.

## Install

|
```

|
$ npm install --save matcher
|
|
```
|

## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const matcher = require('matcher');
|
|
|
|
matcher(['foo', 'bar', 'moo'], ['*oo', '!foo']);
|
|
//=> ['moo']
|
|
|
|
matcher(['foo', 'bar', 'moo'], ['!*oo']);
|
|
//=> ['bar']
|
|
|
|
matcher.isMatch('unicorn', 'uni*');
|
|
//=> true
|
|
|
|
matcher.isMatch('unicorn', '*corn');
|
|
//=> true
|
|
|

matcher.isMatch('unicorn', 'un*rn');
|

|
|
|
|
matcher.isMatch('rainbow', '!unicorn');
