## README

# Glob expander
Expand your globs into an equivalent list of directories.

This was primarily created to work around the [gaze issue](https://github.com/shama/gaze/pull/103) that prevents files being added in subdirectories from being picked up as part of the watch process.

Note that this does not attempt to expand more complex minimatch patterns, like those including brackets or negations; instead, it returns the original pattern as part of the result.

Installs via npm: 

```bash
npm install glob-expander
```

## Example

Given the following directory structure:
```

gulpfile.js
public/
 js/
   app/
	   foo.js
   test/
     bar.js
server/
  routes/
		r1.js
		r2.js
```

In `gulpfile.js`:

```javascript
var expandGlob = require('glob-expander');

// Expand a single glob
expandGlob('public/**/*.js'); // ['public/js/*.js', 'public/js/app/*.js', 'public/js/test/*.js'] 

// Expand multiple globs 
expandGlob(['public/**/*.js', 'server/**']); 
// ['public/js/*.js', 'public/js/app/*.js', 'public/js/test/*.js', 'server/*', 'server/routes/*'] 
```
