# parse-glob [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/parse-glob.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/parse-glob) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/parse-glob.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/parse-glob)
> Parse a glob pattern into an object of tokens.
**Changes from v1.0.0 to v3.0.0**
- all path-related properties are now on the `path` object
- all boolean properties are now on the `is` object
- adds `base` property
See the [properties](#properties) section for details.
## Install with [npm](npmjs.org)
```bash
npm i parse-glob --save
```
- parses 1,000+ glob patterns in 29ms (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7)
- Extensive [unit tests](./test.js) (more than 1,000 lines), covering wildcards, globstars, character classes, brace patterns, extglobs, dotfiles and other complex patterns.
See the tests for [hundreds of examples](./test.js).
## Usage
```js
var parseGlob = require('parse-glob');
```
**Example**
```js
parseGlob('a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}');
```
**Returns:**
```js
{ orig: 'a/b/c/**/*.{yml,json}',
is:
{ glob: true,
negated: false,
extglob: false,
braces: true,
brackets: false,
globstar: true,
dotfile: false,
dotdir: false },
glob: '**/*.{yml,json}',
base: 'a/b/c',
path:
{ dirname: 'a/b/c/**/',
basename: '*.{yml,json}',
filename: '*',
extname: '.{yml,json}',
ext: '{yml,json}' } }
```
## Properties
The object returned by parseGlob has the following properties:
- `orig`: a copy of the original, unmodified glob pattern
- `is`: an object with boolean information about the glob:
+ `glob`: true if the pattern actually a glob pattern
+ `negated`: true if it's a negation pattern (`!**/foo.js`)
+ `extglob`: true if it has extglobs (`@(foo|bar)`)
+ `braces`: true if it has braces (`{1..2}` or `.{txt,md}`)
+ `brackets`: true if it has POSIX brackets (`[[:alpha:]]`)
+ `globstar`: true if the pattern has a globstar (double star, `**`)
+ `dotfile`: true if the pattern should match dotfiles
+ `dotdir`: true if the pattern should match dot-directories (like `.git`)
- `glob`: the glob pattern part of the string, if any
- `base`: the non-glob part of the string, if any
- `path`: file path segments
+ `dirname`: directory
+ `basename`: file name with extension
+ `filename`: file name without extension
+ `extname`: file extension with dot
+ `ext`: file extension without dot
