parse-glob  
  
Parse a glob pattern into an object of tokens.
Changes from v1.0.0 to v3.0.4
- all path-related properties are now on the pathobject
- all boolean properties are now on the isobject
- adds baseproperty
See the properties section for details.
Install with npm
$ npm i parse-glob --save
- parses 1,000+ glob patterns in 29ms (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7)
- Extensive unit tests (more than 1,000 lines), covering wildcards, globstars, character classes, brace patterns, extglobs, dotfiles and other complex patterns.
See the tests for hundreds of examples.
Usage
var parseGlob = require('parse-glob');
Example
parseGlob('a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}');
Returns:
{ orig: 'a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}',
  is:
   { glob: true,
     negated: false,
     extglob: false,
     braces: true,
     brackets: false,
     globstar: true,
     dotfile: false,
     dotdir: false },
  glob: '**/*.{yml,json}',
  base: 'a/b/c',
  path:
   { dirname: 'a/b/c/**/',
     basename: '*.{yml,json}',
     filename: '*',
     extname: '.{yml,json}',
     ext: '{yml,json}' } }
Properties
The object returned by parseGlob has the following properties:
- orig: a copy of the original, unmodified glob pattern
- is: an object with boolean information about the glob:- glob: true if the pattern actually a glob pattern
- negated: true if it's a negation pattern (- !**/foo.js)
- extglob: true if it has extglobs (- @(foo|bar))
- braces: true if it has braces (- {1..2}or- .{txt,md})
- brackets: true if it has POSIX brackets (- [[:alpha:]])
- globstar: true if the pattern has a globstar (double star,- **)
- dotfile: true if the pattern should match dotfiles
- dotdir: true if the pattern should match dot-directories (like- .git)
 
- glob: the glob pattern part of the string, if any
- base: the non-glob part of the string, if any
- path: file path segments- dirname: directory
- basename: file name with extension
- filename: file name without extension
- extname: file extension with dot
- ext: file extension without dot
