to-absolute-glob

Make a glob pattern absolute, ensuring that negative globs and patterns with trailing slashes are correctly handled.

Install

Install with npm:

1npm install to-absolute-glob

Or install with yarn:

1yarn add to-absolute-glob

Usage

1const toAbsGlob = require('to-absolute-glob');
2toAbsGlob('a/*.js');
3//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'

Examples

Given the current project folder (cwd) is /dev/foo/:

makes a path absolute

1toAbsGlob('a');
2//=> '/dev/foo/a'

makes a glob absolute

1toAbsGlob('a/*.js');
2//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'

retains trailing slashes

1toAbsGlob('a/*/');
2//=> '/dev/foo/a/*/'

retains trailing slashes with cwd

1toAbsGlob('./fixtures/whatsgoingon/*/', {cwd: __dirname});
2//=> '/dev/foo/'

makes a negative glob absolute

1toAbsGlob('!a/*.js');
2//=> '!/dev/foo/a/*.js'

from a cwd

1toAbsGlob('a/*.js', {cwd: 'foo'});
2//=> '/dev/foo/foo/a/*.js'

makes a negative glob absolute from a cwd

1toAbsGlob('!a/*.js', {cwd: 'foo'});
2//=> '!/dev/foo/foo/a/*.js'

from a root path

1toAbsGlob('/a/*.js', {root: 'baz'});
2//=> '/dev/foo/baz/a/*.js'

from a root slash

1toAbsGlob('/a/*.js', {root: '/'});
2//=> '/dev/foo/a/*.js'

from a negative root path

1toAbsGlob('!/a/*.js', {root: 'baz'});
2//=> '!/dev/foo/baz/a/*.js'

from a negative root slash

1toAbsGlob('!/a/*.js', {root: '/'});
2//=> '!/dev/foo/a/*.js'
