# globby [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/globby)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Extends [glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob) with support for multiple patterns and exposes a Promise API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ npm install --save globby
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
├── unicorn
|
||
|
|
├── cake
|
||
|
|
└── rainbow
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const globby = require('globby');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
globby(['*', '!cake']).then(paths => {
|
||
|
|
console.log(paths);
|
||
|
|
//=> ['unicorn', 'rainbow']
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### globby(patterns, [options])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns a Promise for an array of matching paths.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### globby.sync(patterns, [options])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns an array of matching paths.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### globby.generateGlobTasks(patterns, [options])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### globby.hasMagic(patterns, [options])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns a `boolean` of whether there are any special glob characters in the `patterns`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### patterns
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `string` `Array`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See supported `minimatch` [patterns](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch#usage).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `Object`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the `node-glob` [options](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#options).
|
||
|

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