# glob-parent | |
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Downloads][downloads-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][ci-image]][ci-url] [![Coveralls Status][coveralls-image]][coveralls-url] | |
Extract the non-magic parent path from a glob string. | |
## Usage | |
```js | |
var globParent = require('glob-parent'); | |
globParent('path/to/*.js'); // 'path/to' | |
globParent('/root/path/to/*.js'); // '/root/path/to' | |
globParent('/*.js'); // '/' | |
globParent('*.js'); // '.' | |
globParent('**/*.js'); // '.' | |
globParent('path/{to,from}'); // 'path' | |
globParent('path/!(to|from)'); // 'path' | |
globParent('path/?(to|from)'); // 'path' | |
globParent('path/+(to|from)'); // 'path' | |
globParent('path/*(to|from)'); // 'path' | |
globParent('path/@(to|from)'); // 'path' | |
globParent('path/**/*'); // 'path' | |
// if provided a non-glob path, returns the nearest dir | |
globParent('path/foo/bar.js'); // 'path/foo' | |
globParent('path/foo/'); // 'path/foo' | |
globParent('path/foo'); // 'path' (see issue #3 for details) | |
``` | |
## API | |
### `globParent(maybeGlobString, [options])` | |
Takes a string and returns the part of the path before the glob begins. Be aware of Escaping rules and Limitations below. | |
#### options | |
```js | |
{ | |
// Disables the automatic conversion of slashes for Windows | |
flipBackslashes: true; | |
} | |
``` | |
## Escaping | |
The following characters have special significance in glob patterns and must be escaped if you want them to be treated as regular path characters: | |
- `?` (question mark) unless used as a path segment alone | |
- `*` (asterisk) | |
- `|` (pipe) | |
- `(` (opening parenthesis) | |
- `)` (closing parenthesis) | |
- `{` (opening curly brace) | |
- `}` (closing curly brace) | |
- `[` (opening bracket) | |
- `]` (closing bracket) | |
**Example** | |
```js | |
globParent('foo/[bar]/'); // 'foo' | |
globParent('foo/\\[bar]/'); // 'foo/[bar]' | |
``` | |
## Limitations | |
### Braces & Brackets | |
This library attempts a quick and imperfect method of determining which path | |
parts have glob magic without fully parsing/lexing the pattern. There are some | |
advanced use cases that can trip it up, such as nested braces where the outer | |
pair is escaped and the inner one contains a path separator. If you find | |
yourself in the unlikely circumstance of being affected by this or need to | |
ensure higher-fidelity glob handling in your library, it is recommended that you | |
pre-process your input with [expand-braces] and/or [expand-brackets]. | |
### Windows | |
Backslashes are not valid path separators for globs. If a path with backslashes | |
is provided anyway, for simple cases, glob-parent will replace the path | |
separator for you and return the non-glob parent path (now with | |
forward-slashes, which are still valid as Windows path separators). | |
This cannot be used in conjunction with escape characters. | |
```js | |
// BAD | |
globParent('C:\\Program Files \\(x86\\)\\*.ext'); // 'C:/Program Files /(x86/)' | |
// GOOD | |
globParent('C:/Program Files\\(x86\\)/*.ext'); // 'C:/Program Files (x86)' | |
``` | |
If you are using escape characters for a pattern without path parts (i.e. | |
relative to `cwd`), prefix with `./` to avoid confusing glob-parent. | |
```js | |
// BAD | |
globParent('foo \\[bar]'); // 'foo ' | |
globParent('foo \\[bar]*'); // 'foo ' | |
// GOOD | |
globParent('./foo \\[bar]'); // 'foo [bar]' | |
globParent('./foo \\[bar]*'); // '.' | |
``` | |
