is-glob 4.0.3

"Is-glob" is a JavaScript npm package that returns 'true' if the provided string appears to be a glob pattern or an extglob pattern. It allows you to create efficient, high-performance code by only utilizing external modules like node-glob when it's necessary, leading to quicker code execution and initialization time, improving the overall user experience.

To use "is-glob" in your code, you must first install it using npm by typing npm install --save is-glob in your terminal. After installation, require 'is-glob' at the top of your JavaScript file like so: var isGlob = require('is-glob');. You will then be able to test strings to see if they are glob patterns. For example, isGlob('*.js'); will return true, while something like isGlob('abc.js'); will return false, as it is not a glob pattern. "Is-glob" also accepts an optional settings object with a strict boolean, which when set to false, alters the behavior of the function to be less strict in its determination.

var isGlob = require('is-glob');

// example usages
isGlob('*.js'); // returns true
isGlob('abc/*.js'); // returns true

isGlob('abc.js'); // returns false
isGlob('foo.js'); // returns false

isGlob('!foo.js', {strict: false}); // returns true, because `{strict: false}` makes detection less strict

Documentation for "is-glob" can primarily be found in the readme file on the package's GitHub repository: https://github.com/micromatch/is-glob The readme contains clear instructions for installing and using the package, as well as examples of glob patterns that will return true or false.
