extglob
Convert extended globs to regex-compatible strings. Add (almost) the expressive power of regular expressions to glob patterns.
Install with npm
$ npm i extglob --save
Used by micromatch.
Features
- Convert an extglob string to a regex-compatible string. Only converts extglobs, to handle full globs use micromatch.
- Pass
{regex: true}
to return a regex - Handles nested patterns
- More complete (and correct) support than minimatch
Usage
var extglob = require('extglob');
extglob('?(z)');
//=> '(?:z)?'
extglob('*(z)');
//=> '(?:z)*'
extglob('+(z)');
//=> '(?:z)+'
extglob('@(z)');
//=> '(?:z)'
extglob('!(z)');
//=> '(?!^(?:(?!z)[^/]*?)).*$'
Optionally return regex
extglob('!(z)', {regex: true});
//=> /(?!^(?:(?!z)[^/]*?)).*$/
Extglob patterns
To learn more about how extglobs work, see the docs for Bash pattern matching:
?(pattern)
: Match zero or one occurrence of the given pattern.*(pattern)
: Match zero or more occurrences of the given pattern.+(pattern)
: Match one or more occurrences of the given pattern.@(pattern)
: Match one of the given pattern.!(pattern)
: Match anything except one of the given pattern.
