anymatch [](https://travis-ci.org/micromatch/anymatch) [](https://coveralls.io/r/micromatch/anymatch?branch=master)======Javascript module to match a string against a regular expression, glob, string,or function that takes the string as an argument and returns a truthy or falsyvalue. The matcher can also be an array of any or all of these. Useful forallowing a very flexible user-defined config to define things like file paths.
__Note: This module has Bash-parity, please be aware that Windows-style backslashes are not supported as separators. See https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch#backslashes for more information.__
Usage-----```shnpm install anymatch```
#### anymatch(matchers, testString, [returnIndex], [options])
* __matchers__: (_Array|String|RegExp|Function_)String to be directly matched, string with glob patterns, regular expressiontest, function that takes the testString as an argument and returns a truthyvalue if it should be matched, or an array of any number and mix of these types.* __testString__: (_String|Array_) The string to test against the matchers. Ifpassed as an array, the first element of the array will be used as the`testString` for non-function matchers, while the entire array will be appliedas the arguments for function matchers.* __options__: (_Object_ [optional]_) Any of the [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch#options) options. * __returnIndex__: (_Boolean [optional]_) If true, return the array index ofthe first matcher that that testString matched, or -1 if no match, instead of aboolean result.
```jsconst anymatch = require('anymatch');
const matchers = [ 'path/to/file.js', 'path/anyjs/**/*.js', /foo.js$/, string => string.includes('bar') && string.length > 10 ] ;
anymatch(matchers, 'path/to/file.js'); // trueanymatch(matchers, 'path/anyjs/baz.js'); // trueanymatch(matchers, 'path/to/foo.js'); // trueanymatch(matchers, 'path/to/bar.js'); // trueanymatch(matchers, 'bar.js'); // false
// returnIndex = trueanymatch(matchers, 'foo.js', {returnIndex: true}); // 2anymatch(matchers, 'path/anyjs/foo.js', {returnIndex: true}); // 1

const matcher = anymatch(matchers);['foo.js', 'bar.js'].filter(matcher); // [ 'foo.js' ]anymatch master* ❯
```
#### anymatch(matchers)
You can also pass in only your matcher(s) to get a curried function that hasalready been bound to the provided matching criteria. This can be used as an`Array#filter` callback.
```jsvar matcher = anymatch(matchers);
matcher('path/to/file.js'); // truematcher('path/anyjs/baz.js', true); // 1
['foo.js', 'bar.js'].filter(matcher); // ['foo.js']```
Changelog----------[See release notes page on GitHub](https://github.com/micromatch/anymatch/releases)
- **v3.0:** Removed `startIndex` and `endIndex` arguments. Node 8.x-only.- **v2.0:** [micromatch](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch) moves away from minimatch-parity and inline with Bash. This includes handling backslashes differently (see https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch#backslashes for more information).- **v1.2:** anymatch uses [micromatch](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch)for glob pattern matching. Issues with glob pattern matching should bereported directly to the [micromatch issue tracker](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch/issues).
