# extglob [](http://badge.fury.io/js/extglob) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/extglob)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Convert extended globs to regex-compatible strings. Add (almost) the expressive power of regular expressions to glob patterns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
$ npm i extglob --save
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Used by [micromatch](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Features**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Convert an extglob string to a regex-compatible string. **Only converts extglobs**, to handle full globs use [micromatch](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch).
|
||
|
|
* Pass `{regex: true}` to return a regex
|
||
|
|
* Handles nested patterns
|
||
|
|
* More complete (and correct) support than [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var extglob = require('extglob');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
extglob('?(z)');
|
||
|
|
//=> '(?:z)?'
|
||
|
|
extglob('*(z)');
|
||
|
|
//=> '(?:z)*'
|
||
|
|
extglob('+(z)');
|
||
|
|
//=> '(?:z)+'
|
||
|
|
extglob('@(z)');
|
||
|
|
//=> '(?:z)'
|
||
|
|
extglob('!(z)');
|
||
|
|
//=> '(?!^(?:(?!z)[^/]*?)).*$'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Optionally return regex**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
extglob('!(z)', {regex: true});
|
||
|
|
//=> /(?!^(?:(?!z)[^/]*?)).*$/
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Extglob patterns
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To learn more about how extglobs work, see the docs for [Bash pattern matching](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Pattern-Matching.html):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `?(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.
