# Glob To Regular Expression
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[](https://travis-ci.org/fitzgen/glob-to-regexp)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Turn a \*-wildcard style glob (`"*.min.js"`) into a regular expression
 | 
						|
(`/^.*\.min\.js$/`)!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To match bash-like globs, eg. `?` for any single-character match, `[a-z]` for
 | 
						|
character ranges, and `{*.html, *.js}` for multiple alternatives, call with
 | 
						|
`{ extended: true }`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To obey [globstars `**`](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#glob-primer) rules set option `{globstar: true}`.
 | 
						|
NOTE: This changes the behavior of `*` when `globstar` is `true` as shown below:
 | 
						|
When `{globstar: true}`: `/foo/**` will match any string that starts with `/foo/`
 | 
						|
like `/foo/index.htm`, `/foo/bar/baz.txt`, etc.  Also, `/foo/**/*.txt` will match
 | 
						|
any string that starts with `/foo/` and ends with `.txt` like `/foo/bar.txt`,
 | 
						|
`/foo/bar/baz.txt`, etc.
 | 
						|
Whereas `/foo/*` (single `*`, not a globstar) will match strings that start with
 | 
						|
`/foo/` like `/foo/index.htm`, `/foo/baz.txt` but will not match strings that
 | 
						|
contain a `/` to the right like `/foo/bar/baz.txt`, `/foo/bar/baz/qux.dat`, etc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Set flags on the resulting `RegExp` object by adding the `flags` property to the option object, eg `{ flags: "i" }` for ignoring case.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    npm install glob-to-regexp
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
var globToRegExp = require('glob-to-regexp');
 | 
						|
var re = globToRegExp("p*uck");
 | 
						|
re.test("pot luck"); // true
 | 
						|
re.test("pluck"); // true
 | 
						|
re.test("puck"); // true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
re = globToRegExp("*.min.js");
 | 
						|
re.test("http://example.com/jquery.min.js"); // true
 | 
						|
re.test("http://example.com/jquery.min.js.map"); // false
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
re = globToRegExp("*/www/*.js");
 | 
						|
re.test("http://example.com/www/app.js"); // true
 | 
						|
re.test("http://example.com/www/lib/factory-proxy-model-observer.js"); // true
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Extended globs
 | 
						|
re = globToRegExp("*/www/{*.js,*.html}", { extended: true });
 | 
						|
re.test("http://example.com/www/app.js"); // true
 | 
						|
re.test("http://example.com/www/index.html"); // true
 | 
						|
```
