multimatch

Extends minimatch.match() with support for multiple patterns

Install

$ npm install multimatch

const multimatch = require('multimatch');

multimatch(['unicorn', 'cake', 'rainbows'], ['*', '!cake']);
//=> ['unicorn', 'rainbows']

See the tests for more usage examples and expected matches.

Returns an array of matching paths.

Type: string | string[]

Paths to match against.

Type: string | string[]

Globbing patterns to use. For example: ['*', '!cake']. See supported minimatch patterns.

Type: object

Positive patterns (e.g. foo or *) add to the results, while negative patterns (e.g. !foo) subtract from the results.

Therefore a lone negation (e.g. ['!foo']) will never match anything – use ['*', '!foo'] instead.

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
