glob-regex
Convert a glob to a RegExp object.
- Any periods are escaped (
.->\\.) -
*and**are replaced - Always start with
^and end with$ - All
RegExpsyntax is valid - Path separators are auto-escaped by
new RegExp
const globRegex = require('glob-regex')
// Match no directory.
let re = globRegex('*.js')
re.test('a.js') // => true
re.test('a.css') // => false
re.test('a/b.js') // => false
// Use ? operator for optional character.
re = globRegex('*.jsx?')
re.test('a.js') // => true
re.test('b.jsx') // => true
// Match any directory.
re = globRegex('**.css')
re.test('a.css') // => true
re.test('a/b.css') // => true
// Match any directory and specific name.
re = globRegex('**/a.css')
re.test('a.css') // => true
re.test('b/a.css') // => true
// Use | operator to match multiple values.
re = globRegex('*.(js|css)')
re.test('a.js') // => true
re.test('a.css') // => trueUse globRegex.replace() to transform a glob into a RegExp-compatible string.
NOTE: It's not recommended to use globRegex(array) if you need
the exec method, since the result will be difficult to make use of.
Using the test method works great, though!
