extglob NPM version Build Status

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.
