glob-stream
A Readable Stream interface over node-glob.
Usage
var gs = require('glob-stream');
var readable = gs('./files/**/*.coffee', { /* options */ });
var writable = /* your WriteableStream */
readable.pipe(writable);
You can pass any combination of glob strings. One caveat is that you cannot only pass a negative glob, you must give it at least one positive glob so it knows where to start. If given a non-glob path (also referred to as a singular glob), only one file will be emitted. If given a singular glob and no files match, an error is emitted (see also options.allowEmpty
).
API
globStream(globs, options)
Takes a glob string or an array of glob strings as the first argument and an options object as the second. Returns a stream of objects that contain cwd
, base
and path
properties.
Options
options.allowEmpty
Whether or not to error upon an empty singular glob.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
(error upon no match)
options.dot
Whether or not to treat dotfiles as regular files. This is passed through to node-glob.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
options.silent
Whether or not to suppress warnings on stderr from node-glob. This is passed through to node-glob.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
options.cwd
The current working directory that the glob is resolved against.
Type: String
Default: process.cwd()
options.root
The root path that the glob is resolved against.
Note: This is never passed to node-glob because it is pre-resolved against your paths.
Type: String
Default: undefined
(use the filesystem root)
options.base
The absolute segment of the glob path that isn't a glob. This value is attached to each glob object and is useful for relative pathing.
Type: String
Default: The absolute path segement before a glob starts (see glob-parent)
options.cwdbase
Whether or not the cwd
and base
should be the same.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
options.uniqueBy
Filters stream to remove duplicates based on the string property name or the result of function. When using a function, the function receives the streamed data (objects containing cwd
, base
, path
properties) to compare against.
Type: String
or Function
Default: 'path'
other
Any glob-related options are documented in node-glob. Those options are forwarded verbatim, with the exception of root
and ignore
. root
is pre-resolved and ignore
is joined with all negative globs.
Globbing & Negation
var stream = gs(['./**/*.js', '!./node_modules/**/*']);
Globs are executed in order, so negations should follow positive globs. For example:
The following would not exclude any files:
gs(['!b*.js', '*.js'])
However, this would exclude all files that started with b
:
gs(['*.js', '!b*.js'])
