anymatch 3.1.3

Anymatch is a useful JavaScript module designed to facilitate string matching against configurable strings, globs, regular expressions, or functions. With a particular emphasis on file paths, its functionality plays an integral role in allowing user-configurable designs that are flexibly designed. Anymatch accomplishes its objectives by directly matching a string, using a string with glob patterns, conducting regular expression tests, or through a function that takes test string as an argument and returns a truthy value if a match should be made.

To use Anymatch, you begin by installing it via npm using the command npm install anymatch. After installation, it can be used by invoking the anymatch function and passing in the matchers and testString.

Here's a quick code example:

const anymatch = require('anymatch');

const matchers = [ 'path/to/file.js', 'path/anyjs/**/*.js', /foo.js$/, string => string.includes('bar') && string.length > 10 ] ;

anymatch(matchers, 'path/to/file.js'); // true
anymatch(matchers, 'path/anyjs/baz.js'); // true
anymatch(matchers, 'path/to/foo.js'); // true
anymatch(matchers, 'path/to/bar.js'); // true
anymatch(matchers, 'bar.js'); // false

// returnIndex = true
anymatch(matchers, 'foo.js', {returnIndex: true}); // 2
anymatch(matchers, 'path/anyjs/foo.js', {returnIndex: true}); // 1

Anymatch also supports curried functions, providing a function that is already bound to the provided matching criteria.

The details and documentation on how to use Anymatch can be found on its GitHub page at https://github.com/micromatch/anymatch. These docs provide a comprehensive guide on how to use Anymatch, covering all the parameters and options, and also illustrating examples on how to best utilize this JavaScript module.
