tinyglobby

A fast and minimal alternative to globby and fast-glob, meant to behave the same way.

Both globby and fast-glob present some behavior no other globbing lib has, which makes it hard to manually replace with something smaller and better.

This library uses only two subdependencies, compared to globby's 23 and fast-glob's 17.

Usage

import { glob, globSync } from 'tinyglobby';

await glob(['files/*.ts', '!**/*.d.ts'], { cwd: 'src' });
globSync(['src/**/*.ts'], { ignore: ['**/*.d.ts'] });

API

• glob(patterns: string | string[], options: GlobOptions): Promise<string[]>: Returns a promise with an array of matches.
• globSync(patterns: string | string[], options: GlobOptions): string[]: Returns an array of matches.
• convertPathToPattern(path: string): string: Converts a path to a pattern depending on the platform.
• escapePath(path: string): string: Escapes a path's special characters depending on the platform.
• isDynamicPattern(pattern: string, options?: GlobOptions): boolean: Checks if a pattern is dynamic.

Options
