## API
|
| 32 |
|
|
|
| 33 |
|
|
### globby(patterns, [options])
|
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
|
Returns a Promise for an array of matching paths.
|
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
### globby.sync(patterns, [options])
|
| 38 |
|
|
|
| 39 |
|
|
Returns an array of matching paths.
|
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
### globby.generateGlobTasks(patterns, [options])
|
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
Returns an array of objects in the format `{ pattern: string, opts: Object }`, which can be passed as arguments to [`node-glob`](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob). This is useful for other globbing-related packages.
|
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
Note that you should avoid running the same tasks multiple times as they contain a file system cache. Instead, run this method each time to ensure file system changes are taken into consideration.
|
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
### globby.hasMagic(patterns, [options])
|
| 48 |
|
|
|
| 49 |
|
|
Returns a `boolean` of whether there are any special glob characters in the `patterns`.
|
| 50 |
|
|
|
| 51 |
|
|
Note that the options affect the results. If `noext: true` is set, then `+(a|b)` will not be considered a magic pattern. If the pattern has a brace expansion, like `a/{b/c,x/y}`, then that is considered magical, unless `nobrace: true` is set.
|
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
#### patterns
|
| 54 |
|
|
|
| 55 |
|
|
Type: `string` `Array`
|
| 56 |
|
|
|
| 57 |
|
|
See supported `minimatch` [patterns](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch#usage).

|
|
|
| 59 |
|
|
#### options
|
| 60 |
|
|
|
| 61 |
|
|
Type: `Object`
|
| 62 |
|
|
|
| 63 |
|
|
See the `node-glob` [options](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#options).

## Globbing patterns
|
| 67 |
|
|
|
| 68 |
|
|
Just a quick overview.
|
| 69 |
|
|
|
| 70 |
|
|
- `*` matches any number of characters, but not `/`
|
| 71 |
|
|
- `?` matches a single character, but not `/`
|
| 72 |
|
|
- `**` matches any number of characters, including `/`, as long as it's the only thing in a path part
|
| 73 |
|
|
- `{}` allows for a comma-separated list of "or" expressions
|
| 74 |
|
|
- `!` at the beginning of a pattern will negate the match
|
| 75 |
