to-absolute-glob

Make a glob pattern absolute, ensuring that negative globs and patterns with trailing slashes are correctly handled.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save to-absolute-glob

Usage

var toAbsGlob = require('to-absolute-glob');
toAbsGlob('a/*.js');
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'

Examples

Given the current project folder (cwd) is /dev/foo/:

makes a path absolute

toAbsGlob('a');
//=> '/dev/foo/a'

makes a glob absolute

toAbsGlob('a/*.js');
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'

retains trailing slashes

toAbsGlob('a/*/');
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*/'

retains trailing slashes with cwd

toAbsGlob('./fixtures/whatsgoingon/*/', {cwd: __dirname});
//=> '/dev/foo/'

makes a negative glob absolute

toAbsGlob('!a/*.js');
//=> '!/dev/foo/a/*.js'

from a cwd

toAbsGlob('a/*.js', {cwd: 'foo'});
//=> '/dev/foo/foo/a/*.js'

makes a negative glob absolute from a cwd

toAbsGlob('!a/*.js', {cwd: 'foo'});
//=> '!/dev/foo/foo/a/*.js'

from a root path

toAbsGlob('/a/*.js', {root: 'baz'});
//=> '/dev/foo/baz/a/*.js'

from a root slash

toAbsGlob('/a/*.js', {root: '/'});
//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'

from a negative root path

toAbsGlob('!/a/*.js', {root: 'baz'});
//=> '!/dev/foo/baz/a/*.js'

from a negative root slash

toAbsGlob('!/a/*.js', {root: '/'});
//=> '!/dev/foo/a/*.js'
