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.
  • braces: Fastest brace expansion for node.js, with the most complete support for the Bash 4.3 braces… more
  • expand-brackets: Expand POSIX bracket expressions (character classes) in glob patterns.
  • expand-range: Fast, bash-like range expansion. Expand a range of numbers or letters, uppercase or lowercase. See… more
  • fill-range: Fill in a range of numbers or letters, optionally passing an increment or multiplier to… more
  • micromatch: Glob matching for javascript/node.js. A drop-in replacement and faster alternative to minimatch and multimatch. Just… more
