tinyglobby

Added

• Documentation page at https://superchupu.dev/tinyglobby, which also contains a library comparison page and migration guide.

  It's been a huge effort that took two months to make.

  Big thanks to @outslept, @43081j and @benmccann for helping out! ❤️

• JSDoc to all functions and options based on the online documentation page

• Benchmarks with help from @43081j and @benmccann

• braceExpansion option

• extglob option

• fs option

• globstar option by @benmccann

• signal option

• package.json export as tinyglobby/package.json

• Ability to pass readonly types by @TomerAberbach

• Support for URLs in cwd option

Changed

• Rewritten path processing algorithm leading to a huge performance increase in many cases with help from @43081j and @benmccann

• Deprecated using patterns inside the options object

• Enabled trusted publishing using npm's OIDC support

Fixed

• Negated bracket expressions i.e. [!abc]
• Some patterns like +++ breaking the partial matcher

Consider sponsoring if you'd like to support the development of this project and the goal of reaching a lighter and faster ecosystem

Fixed

• Root path joining on windows with help from @43081j and @btea
• deep: 0 is no longer mistakenly interpreted as not set
• Parent directories in patterns are now correctly normalized to cwd

Changed

• Switched bundler from tsup to tsdown

Consider sponsoring if you'd like to support the development of this project and the goal of reaching a lighter and faster ecosystem

Fixed

• Performance of crawling / thanks to an upstream fdir fix by @pralkarz
• Path joining when crawling from / by @benmccann
• Paths no longer have their first character removed in some cases when crawling from /
• Added compatibility with @types/picomatch 4.0.0

Fixed

• Using .. inside ignore patterns could sometimes make the optimizer ignore parent directories

Changed

• The debug option now logs skipped directories

I've opened a sponsorships page! Consider sponsoring at https://github.com/sponsors/SuperchupuDev
if you'd like to support the development of this project. This is a huge release in a technical aspect
that took many months to get right.

Added

• New optimizer to avoid crawling directories with entries that will never match.

  This is a huge performance improvement and it should solve most if not all performance issues in the library.

  This has taken many months to figure out and implement and has gotten through three different implementations
  with the help and/or advice of many people, most from e18e:

  • @benmccann
  • @Fuzzyma
  • @43081j
  • @jviide
  • @pralkarz
  • @xiboon
  • @xuanduc987
  • @thecodrr for merging a important upstream fix

• Other performance improvements, such as early returning without patterns by @bluwy
  and micro-optimizations by @Torathion

• debug option. Useful for development purposes

Fixed

• Usage of escaped patterns with a cwd that partially matches the pattern
• Unsupported usages of backslashes making the library really slow. It should be way faster now thanks to the new optimizer

Added

• Re-enabled symlinks resolution. Big thanks to @thecodrr for fixing the critical bug upstream

Fixed

• Processing of absolute negative patterns
• Negative ignore patterns are now not processed for consistency with fast-glob

Changed

• Temporarily reverted resolution of symbolic links due to a critical bug. See #54 for more info

Fixed

• Escaped symbols (i.e. "\\[") in the inferred common root producing empty matches

Changed

• Improved the common root inference algorithm to optimize non-trailing ** patterns

Added

• Support for providing patterns as a string
• followSymbolicLinks option
• escapePath utility function by @benmccann
• isDynamicPattern utility function
• convertPathToPattern utility function

Fixed

• . as a pattern now works as expected
• Globbing no longer returns an empty string when matching the root directory
• Handling of escaped symbols in patterns

Changed

• Relicensed the project to the MIT license
• Disabled source maps on release builds for smaller bundle size
• Improved the common root inference algorithm

Added

• Full support for absolute paths as patterns
• caseSensitiveMatch option

Fixed

• Using a pattern that doesn't end with special characters with expandDirectories disabled no longer produces incorrect matches

Fixed

• Using a pattern that can't infer a common root with absolute enabled no longer produces incorrect matches

Added

• Support for leading ../ in patterns

Changed

• A common root is now inferred from the patterns if possible to avoid unnecessary crawling

Added

• Basic handling of absolute patterns

Fixed

• Adding trailing slashes to the end of patterns no longer returns incorrect results
• Matching directories without expandDirectories without a trailing slash now works correctly

Fixed

• Using an empty array of patterns no longer acts as ['**/*']

Changed

• Windows now uses forward slashes instead of backslashes
• Modified ignore behavior to vastly improve performance when ignoring whole directories

BREAKING CHANGES

The library no longer sets dot to true internally by default. It now defaults it to false, just like globby and fast-glob.

You can configure this by using the new dot option.

Added

• Support for specifying the patterns option as the first argument to better approach a drop-in globby replacement

await glob(['src/*.ts'], { ignore: ['_secret'] });

// you can still specify it in the options object
await glob({ patterns: ['src/*.ts'], ignore: ['_secret'] });

• Support for non-absolute paths in cwd
• dot option
• deep option
• onlyFiles option

• add onlyDirectories option

• add ignore option
• add expandDirectories option
