# 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]` forcharacter 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 matchany 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 thatcontain 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
```jsvar globToRegExp = require('glob-to-regexp');var re = globToRegExp("p*uck");re.test("pot luck"); // truere.test("pluck"); // truere.test("puck"); // true
re = globToRegExp("*.min.js");re.test("http://example.com/jquery.min.js"); // truere.test("http://example.com/jquery.min.js.map"); // false
re = globToRegExp("*/www/*.js");re.test("http://example.com/www/app.js"); // truere.test("http://example.com/www/lib/factory-proxy-model-observer.js"); // true
// Extended globsre = globToRegExp("*/www/{*.js,*.html}", { extended: true });re.test("http://example.com/www/app.js"); // truere.test("http://example.com/www/index.html"); // true```
