glob-to-regexp 0.4.1

Glob-to-regexp is a potent tool with which you can convert wildcard-style globs into regular expressions. It turns a format like "*.min.js" into a regular expression like /^.*\.min\.js$/. The package also supports bash-like globs such as ? for single-character matches, [a-z] for character ranges, and {*.html, *.js} for multiple alternatives, offering one a great deal of flexibility in their search pattern.

The use of glob-to-regexp is fairly straightforward. First, you need to install it using npm by running npm install glob-to-regexp. Then, in your JavaScript code, require the module like this: var globToRegExp = require('glob-to-regexp');. Once you have the globToRegExp function available, you can call it with a glob string to get a regular expression. For example,

var re = globToRegExp("p*uck");

You can then use this regular expression with the .test() method on any string to check if it matches the pattern. For example,

re.test("pluck"); // returns true

One thing to remember is that if you want to use extended globs, you need to call globToRegExp with the second parameter as { extended: true }. For instance,

var re = globToRegExp("*/www/{*.js,*.html}", { extended: true });
re.test("http://example.com/www/app.js"); // returns true
