GLOB

A clean and simple glob implementation. Glob can be used to find files in the file-system using patterns.

ESM

import glob from 'es-modules/distributed-systems/glob/v1+/src/glob.mjs';


// find all .mjs inside the /home/ee directory
const absolutFilePaths = await glob('/home/ee', '**/*.mjs');

NPM

import glob from '@distributed-systems/glob';


// find all .mjs inside the /home/ee directory
const absolutFilePaths = await glob('/home/ee', '**/*.mjs');

Syntax

The patterns passed to the glob function are split by the path separator (/ on unix based systems) and matched individually to the files searched over.

• /**/ match the the pattern to the right of the two stars, traversing the directory left of the two stars recursively
• * matches 0 or more character except for . (dot)
• ? matches 1 character except for . (dot)
• [] matches a RegExp like character class. If the first character inside the brackets is a ! or a ^ all characters except for those in the class are matched
• !(pattern|pattern|...) matches anything except for the provided pattern(s)
• ?(pattern|pattern|...) matches the provided patterns zero or more times
• +(pattern|pattern|...) matches the provided patterns one or more times
• *(pattern|pattern|...) matches the provided patterns zero or more times
• @(pattern|pattern|...) matches the provided patterns one times

examples

Find all your test files

const testfile = await glob('/home/ee', '**/*.test.mjs');

Find all README.md files inside a test directory

const testfile = await glob('/home/ee', '**/test/readme.md');
