Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) (requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) >=10):

```sh
$ npm install --save matched
```

## Usage

```js
const glob = require('matched');
// async signature
glob(patterns[, options]);

// sync signature
glob.sync(patterns[, options]);
```

* `patterns` (string|array) - one or more glob patterns
* `options` - options to pass to [node-glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob);

_Also note that if non-glob file paths are passed, only paths that exist on the file system will be returned._

**promise**

```js
glob(['*.txt'])
  .then(files => console.log(files)) //=> ['a.txt', 'b.txt', 'c.txt']
  .catch(console.error)

// or with async-await
(async() => {
  const files = await glob('*.txt');
  console.log(files);
  //=> ['foo.txt', 'bar.txt']
})();
```

**callback**

```js
glob(['*.js'], (err, files) => {
  console.log(files);
  //=> ['utils.js', 'index.js']
});
```

**sync**

```js
const files = glob.sync(['*.js']);
//=> ['utils.js', 'index.js']
```

**options**

All methods take an options object to be forwarded to [node-glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob) as the second argument.

```js
const files = glob(['*.js'], { cwd: 'test' });
console.log(files);
//=> ['test.js']
```

## v4.1

* Adds support for `options.onMatch()` which is passed to [node-glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob) as a listener for the `match` event.
* Adds support for `options.onFiles()` to allow the user to get the files returned by each glob pattern.
* Small optimizations in logic for handling non-glob patterns that are passed for matching literal file names.

## v4.0

* Use [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch) for parsing glob patterns.

## v3.0

* Removes `cache` property from results array.
* Optimizations

## v0.4.1

* Exposes a non-enumerable `cache` property on the returned files array. This is a patch release since the property does not change the existing API and should not otherwise effect behavior or results.
