What is a glob?

A glob is a pattern-matching syntax that shells use. Like when you do rm *.js, the *.js is a glob.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming) for more info.

Supported Environments

  • Windows
  • Macintosh OS X (Darwin)
  • FreeBSD
  • NetBSD
  • Linux
  • Solaris

Why another glob library?

From all of my searching I have not been able to find a glob utility that works on Windows and *nix. If you need something that works on all platforms... This is what you need.

This is also a pure JavaScript implementation.

Usage

To load the library:

var glob = require("glob-js");

Methods

glob

Search through the filesystem asynchronously.

Params

  • pattern: String
  • flags: Optional - currently is not used but its here to work as a drop-in replacement
  • cb: function

Example

glob.glob(pattern, flags, function (error, matches) {
  // if an error occurred, it's in error.
  // otherwise, "matches" is an array of filenames.
  ...
})

glob.glob(pattern, function (error, matches) {
  // if an error occurred, it's in error.
  // otherwise, "matches" is an array of filenames.
  ...
})

fnmatch

Test if a string matches a pattern. (no i/o performed)

Params

  • pattern: String
  • str: String to test

Example

var isMatch = glob.fnmatch(pattern, str)
