Extends minimatch.match() with support for multiple patterns

npm install multimatch

import multimatch from 'multimatch';

multimatch(['unicorn', 'cake', 'rainbows'], ['*', '!cake']);
//=> ['unicorn', 'rainbows']

See the tests for more usage examples and expected matches.

Returns an array of matching paths in the order of input paths.

Type: string | string[]

The paths to match against.

Type: string | string[]

Globbing patterns to use. For example: ['*', '!cake']. See supported minimatch patterns.

• Pattern examples with expected matches
• Quick globbing pattern overview

Type: object

See the minimatch options.

Positive patterns (e.g. foo or *) add to the results, while negative patterns (e.g. !foo) subtract from the results.

Therefore a lone negation (e.g. ['!foo']) will never match anything. Use ['*', '!foo'] instead.

Just a quick overview.

• * matches any number of characters, but not /
• ? matches a single character, but not /
• ** matches any number of characters, including /, as long as it's the only thing in a path part
• {} allows for a comma-separated list of "or" expressions
• ! at the beginning of a pattern will negate the match

• globby - Match against the filesystem instead of a list
• matcher - Simple wildcard matching
