file-set

Expands a list of paths and glob expressions into three sets: "files", "directories" and "not existing". Each set in the output is a list of unique paths.

The library saves you the job of learning a globbing library, expanding a glob expression (e.g. lib/**/*), sifting through each result testing whether it's a file, directory or neither.

Usage

Expand two glob expressions ('*' and 'not/existing/*').

import FileSet from 'file-set'
const fileSet = new FileSet()
await fileSet.add([ '*', 'not/existing/*' ])
console.log(fileSet)

The output has been organised into sets.

FileSet {
  files: [ 'LICENSE', 'package.json', 'README.md' ],
  dirs: [ 'jsdoc2md/', 'lib/', 'node_modules/', 'test/' ],
  notExisting: [ 'not/existing/*' ]
}
