The Problem

Finding files that match a pattern like src/**/*.test.js by manually walking directories with fs is verbose, and getting recursion, ignores, and cross-platform path handling right is surprisingly hard.

What It Does

glob resolves shell-style wildcard patterns into file paths, with support for ** recursion, ignore patterns, and both async and sync APIs. It is the backbone of file discovery in build tools, test runners, and CLIs.

Installation

bash

npm install glob

Usage Example

import { glob } from "glob";

const testFiles = await glob("src/**/*.test.js", {
  ignore: "node_modules/**",
});

console.log(`Found ${testFiles.length} test files`);
