glob-stream

Information

Package	glob-stream
Description	File system globs as a stream
Node Version	>= 0.9

This is a simple wrapper around node-glob to make it streamy.

Usage

var gs = require('glob-stream');

var stream = gs.create('./files/**/*.coffee', {options});

stream.on('data', function(file){
  // file has path, base, and cwd attrs
});

You can pass any combination of globs. One caveat is that you can not only pass a glob negation, you must give it at least one positive glob so it knows where to start. All given must match for the file to be returned.

Options

• cwd
  • Default is process.cwd()
• base
  • Default is everything before a glob starts (see glob2base)
• cwdbase
  • Default is false
  • When true it is the same as saying opt.base = opt.cwd
• allowEmpty
  • Default is false
  • If true, won't emit an error when a glob pointing at a single file fails to match

This argument is passed directly to node-glob so check there for more options

Glob

var stream = gs.create(['./**/*.js', '!./node_modules/**/*']);

Globs are executed in order, so negations should follow positive globs. For example:

gulp.src(['!b*.js', '*.js'])

would not exclude any files, but this would

gulp.src(['*.js', '!b*.js'])
