+# fast-glob
+
+> It's a very fast and efficient [glob][glob_definition] library for [Node.js][node_js].
+
+This package provides methods for traversing the file system and returning pathnames that matched a defined set of a specified pattern according to the rules used by the Unix Bash shell with some simplifications, meanwhile results are returned in **arbitrary order**. Quick, simple, effective.

+## Highlights
+
+* Fast. Probably the fastest.
+* Supports multiple and negative patterns.
+* Synchronous, Promise and Stream API.
+* Object mode. Can return more than just strings.
+* Error-tolerant.
+
+## Old and modern mode
+
+This package works in two modes, depending on the environment in which it is used.
+
+* **Old mode**. Node.js below 10.10 or when the [`stats`](#stats) option is *enabled*.
+* **Modern mode**. Node.js 10.10+ and the [`stats`](#stats) option is *disabled*.
+
+The modern mode is faster. Learn more about the [internal mechanism][nodelib_fs_scandir_old_and_modern_modern].
+
+## Pattern syntax
+
+> :warning: Always use forward-slashes in glob expressions (patterns and [`ignore`](#ignore) option). Use backslashes for escaping characters.
+
+There is more than one form of syntax: basic and advanced. Below is a brief overview of the supported features. Also pay attention to our [FAQ](#faq).
+
+> :book: This package uses [`micromatch`][micromatch] as a library for pattern matching.
+
+### Basic syntax
+
+* An asterisk (`*`) — matches everything except slashes (path separators), hidden files (names starting with `.`).
+* A double star or globstar (`**`) — matches zero or more directories.
+* Question mark (`?`) – matches any single character except slashes (path separators).
+* Sequence (`[seq]`) — matches any character in sequence.
+
+> :book: A few additional words about the [basic matching behavior][picomatch_matching_behavior].
+
+Some examples:
+
+* `src/**/*.js` — matches all files in the `src` directory (any level of nesting) that have the `.js` extension.
+* `src/*.??` — matches all files in the `src` directory (only first level of nesting) that have a two-character extension.
+* `file-[01].js` — matches files: `file-0.js`, `file-1.js`.
+
+### Advanced syntax
+
+* [Escapes characters][micromatch_backslashes] (`\\`) — matching special characters (`$^*+?()[]`) as literals.
+* [POSIX character classes][picomatch_posix_brackets] (`[[:digit:]]`).
+* [Extended globs][micromatch_extglobs] (`?(pattern-list)`).
+* [Bash style brace expansions][micromatch_braces] (`{}`).
+* [Regexp character classes][micromatch_regex_character_classes] (`[1-5]`).
+* [Regex groups][regular_expressions_brackets] (`(a|b)`).
+
+> :book: A few additional words about the [advanced matching behavior][micromatch_extended_globbing].
+
+Some examples:
+
+* `src/**/*.{css,scss}` — matches all files in the `src` directory (any level of nesting) that have the `.css` or `.scss` extension.
+* `file-[[:digit:]].js` — matches files: `file-0.js`, `file-1.js`, …, `file-9.js`.
+* `file-{1..3}.js` — matches files: `file-1.js`, `file-2.js`, `file-3.js`.
+* `file-(1|2)` — matches files: `file-1.js`, `file-2.js`.
+
+## Installation
+
+```console
+npm install fast-glob
+```
+
+## API
+
+### Asynchronous
+
+```js
+fg(patterns, [options])
+fg.async(patterns, [options])
+fg.glob(patterns, [options])
+```
+
+Returns a `Promise` with an array of matching entries.
+
+```js
+const fg = require('fast-glob');
+
+const entries = await fg(['.editorconfig', '**/index.js'], { dot: true });
+
+// ['.editorconfig', 'services/index.js']
+```
+
+### Synchronous
+
+```js
+fg.sync(patterns, [options])
+fg.globSync(patterns, [options])
+```
+
+Returns an array of matching entries.
+
+```js
+const fg = require('fast-glob');
+
+const entries = fg.sync(['.editorconfig', '**/index.js'], { dot: true });
+
+// ['.editorconfig', 'services/index.js']
+```
+
+### Stream
+
+```js
+fg.stream(patterns, [options])
+fg.globStream(patterns, [options])
+```
+
+Returns a [`ReadableStream`][node_js_stream_readable_streams] when the `data` event will be emitted with matching entry.
+
+```js
+const fg = require('fast-glob');
+
+const stream = fg.stream(['.editorconfig', '**/index.js'], { dot: true });
+
+for await (const entry of stream) {
+	// .editorconfig
+	// services/index.js
+}
+```
+
+#### patterns
+
+* Required: `true`
+* Type: `string | string[]`
+
+Any correct pattern(s).
+
+> :1234: [Pattern syntax](#pattern-syntax)
+>
+> :warning: This package does not respect the order of patterns. First, all the negative patterns are applied, and only then the positive patterns. If you want to get a certain order of records, use sorting or split calls.
+
+#### [options]
+
+* Required: `false`
+* Type: [`Options`](#options-3)
+
+See [Options](#options-3) section.
+
+### Helpers
+
+#### `generateTasks(patterns, [options])`
+
+Returns the internal representation of patterns ([`Task`](./src/managers/tasks.ts) is a combining patterns by base directory).
+
+```js
+fg.generateTasks('*');
+
+[{
+    base: '.', // Parent directory for all patterns inside this task
+    dynamic: true, // Dynamic or static patterns are in this task
+    patterns: ['*'],
+    positive: ['*'],
+    negative: []
+}]
+```
+
+##### patterns
+
+* Required: `true`
+* Type: `string | string[]`
+
+Any correct pattern(s).
+
+##### [options]
+
+* Required: `false`
+* Type: [`Options`](#options-3)
+
+See [Options](#options-3) section.
+
+#### `isDynamicPattern(pattern, [options])`
+
+Returns `true` if the passed pattern is a dynamic pattern.
+
+> :1234: [What is a static or dynamic pattern?](#what-is-a-static-or-dynamic-pattern)
+
+```js
+fg.isDynamicPattern('*'); // true
+fg.isDynamicPattern('abc'); // false
+```
+
+##### pattern
+
+* Required: `true`
+* Type: `string`
+
+Any correct pattern.
+
+##### [options]
+
+* Required: `false`
+* Type: [`Options`](#options-3)
+
+See [Options](#options-3) section.
+
+#### `escapePath(path)`
+
+Returns the path with escaped special characters depending on the platform.
+
+* Posix:
+  * `*?|(){}[]`;
+  * `!` at the beginning of line;
+  * `@+!` before the opening parenthesis;
+  * `\\` before non-special characters;
+* Windows:
+  * `(){}[]`
+  * `!` at the beginning of line;
+  * `@+!` before the opening parenthesis;
+  * Characters like `*?|` cannot be used in the path ([windows_naming_conventions][windows_naming_conventions]), so they will not be escaped;
+
+```js
+fg.escapePath('!abc');
+// \\!abc
+fg.escapePath('[OpenSource] mrmlnc – fast-glob (Deluxe Edition) 2014') + '/*.flac'
+// \\[OpenSource\\] mrmlnc – fast-glob \\(Deluxe Edition\\) 2014/*.flac
+
+fg.posix.escapePath('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\**\\*');
+// C:\\\\Program Files \\(x86\\)\\*\\*\\*
+fg.win32.escapePath('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\**\\*');
+// Windows: C:\\Program Files \\(x86\\)\\**\\*
+```
+
+#### `convertPathToPattern(path)`
+
+Converts a path to a pattern depending on the platform, including special character escaping.
+
+* Posix. Works similarly to the `fg.posix.escapePath` method.
+* Windows. Works similarly to the `fg.win32.escapePath` method, additionally converting backslashes to forward slashes in cases where they are not escape characters (`!()+@{}[]`).
+
+```js
+fg.convertPathToPattern('[OpenSource] mrmlnc – fast-glob (Deluxe Edition) 2014') + '/*.flac';
+// \\[OpenSource\\] mrmlnc – fast-glob \\(Deluxe Edition\\) 2014/*.flac
+
+fg.convertPathToPattern('C:/Program Files (x86)/**/*');
+// Posix: C:/Program Files \\(x86\\)/\\*\\*/\\*
+// Windows: C:/Program Files \\(x86\\)/**/*
+
+fg.convertPathToPattern('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\**\\*');
+// Posix: C:\\\\Program Files \\(x86\\)\\*\\*\\*
+// Windows: C:/Program Files \\(x86\\)/**/*
+
+fg.posix.convertPathToPattern('\\\\?\\c:\\Program Files (x86)') + '/**/*';
+// Posix: \\\\\\?\\\\c:\\\\Program Files \\(x86\\)/**/* (broken pattern)
+fg.win32.convertPathToPattern('\\\\?\\c:\\Program Files (x86)') + '/**/*';
+// Windows: //?/c:/Program Files \\(x86\\)/**/*
+```
+
+## Options
+
+### Common options
+
+#### concurrency
+
+* Type: `number`
+* Default: `os.cpus().length`
+
+Specifies the maximum number of concurrent requests from a reader to read directories.
+
+> :book: The higher the number, the higher the performance and load on the file system. If you want to read in quiet mode, set the value to a comfortable number or `1`.
+
+<details>
+
+<summary>More details</summary>
+
+In Node, there are [two types of threads][nodejs_thread_pool]: Event Loop (code) and a Thread Pool (fs, dns, …). The thread pool size controlled by the `UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE` environment variable. Its default size is 4 ([documentation][libuv_thread_pool]). The pool is one for all tasks within a single Node process.
+
+Any code can make 4 real concurrent accesses to the file system. The rest of the FS requests will wait in the queue.
+
+> :book: Each new instance of FG in the same Node process will use the same Thread pool.
+
+But this package also has the `concurrency` option. This option allows you to control the number of concurrent accesses to the FS at the package level. By default, this package has a value equal to the number of cores available for the current Node process. This allows you to set a value smaller than the pool size (`concurrency: 1`) or, conversely, to prepare tasks for the pool queue more quickly (`concurrency: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY`).
+
+So, in fact, this package can **only make 4 concurrent requests to the FS**. You can increase this value by using an environment variable (`UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE`), but in practice this does not give a multiple advantage.
+
+</details>
+
+#### cwd
+
+* Type: `string`
+* Default: `process.cwd()`
+
+The current working directory in which to search.
+
+#### deep
+
+* Type: `number`
+* Default: `Infinity`
+
+Specifies the maximum depth of a read directory relative to the start directory.
+
+For example, you have the following tree:
+
+```js
+dir/
+└── one/            // 1
+    └── two/        // 2
+        └── file.js // 3
+```
+
+```js
+// With base directory
+fg.sync('dir/**', { onlyFiles: false, deep: 1 }); // ['dir/one']
+fg.sync('dir/**', { onlyFiles: false, deep: 2 }); // ['dir/one', 'dir/one/two']
+
+// With cwd option
+fg.sync('**', { onlyFiles: false, cwd: 'dir', deep: 1 }); // ['one']
+fg.sync('**', { onlyFiles: false, cwd: 'dir', deep: 2 }); // ['one', 'one/two']
+```
+
+> :book: If you specify a pattern with some base directory, this directory will not participate in the calculation of the depth of the found directories. Think of it as a [`cwd`](#cwd) option.
+
+#### followSymbolicLinks
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `true`
+
+Indicates whether to traverse descendants of symbolic link directories when expanding `**` patterns.
+
+> :book: Note that this option does not affect the base directory of the pattern. For example, if `./a` is a symlink to directory `./b` and you specified `['./a**', './b/**']` patterns, then directory `./a` will still be read.
+
+> :book: If the [`stats`](#stats) option is specified, the information about the symbolic link (`fs.lstat`) will be replaced with information about the entry (`fs.stat`) behind it.
+
+#### fs
+
+* Type: `FileSystemAdapter`
+* Default: `fs.*`
+
+Custom implementation of methods for working with the file system. Supports objects with enumerable properties only.
+
+```ts
+export interface FileSystemAdapter {
+    lstat?: typeof fs.lstat;
+    stat?: typeof fs.stat;
+    lstatSync?: typeof fs.lstatSync;
+    statSync?: typeof fs.statSync;
+    readdir?: typeof fs.readdir;
+    readdirSync?: typeof fs.readdirSync;
+}
+```
+
+#### ignore
+
+* Type: `string[]`
+* Default: `[]`
+
+An array of glob patterns to exclude matches. This is an alternative way to use negative patterns.
+
+```js
+dir/
+├── package-lock.json
+└── package.json
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync(['*.json', '!package-lock.json']);            // ['package.json']
+fg.sync('*.json', { ignore: ['package-lock.json'] }); // ['package.json']
+```
+
+#### suppressErrors
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+By default this package suppress only `ENOENT` errors. Set to `true` to suppress any error.
+
+> :book: Can be useful when the directory has entries with a special level of access.
+
+#### throwErrorOnBrokenSymbolicLink
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+Throw an error when symbolic link is broken if `true` or safely return `lstat` call if `false`.
+
+> :book: This option has no effect on errors when reading the symbolic link directory.
+
+### Output control
+
+#### absolute
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+Return the absolute path for entries.
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*.js', { absolute: false }); // ['index.js']
+fg.sync('*.js', { absolute: true });  // ['/home/user/index.js']
+```
+
+> :book: This option is required if you want to use negative patterns with absolute path, for example, `!${__dirname}/*.js`.
+
+#### markDirectories
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+Mark the directory path with the final slash.
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*', { onlyFiles: false, markDirectories: false }); // ['index.js', 'controllers']
+fg.sync('*', { onlyFiles: false, markDirectories: true });  // ['index.js', 'controllers/']
+```
+
+#### objectMode
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+Returns objects (instead of strings) describing entries.
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*', { objectMode: false }); // ['src/index.js']
+fg.sync('*', { objectMode: true });  // [{ name: 'index.js', path: 'src/index.js', dirent: <fs.Dirent> }]
+```
+
+The object has the following fields:
+
+* name (`string`) — the last part of the path (basename)
+* path (`string`) — full path relative to the pattern base directory
+* dirent ([`fs.Dirent`][node_js_fs_class_fs_dirent]) — instance of `fs.Dirent`
+
+> :book: An object is an internal representation of entry, so getting it does not affect performance.
+
+#### onlyDirectories
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+Return only directories.
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*', { onlyDirectories: false }); // ['index.js', 'src']
+fg.sync('*', { onlyDirectories: true });  // ['src']
+```
+
+> :book: If `true`, the [`onlyFiles`](#onlyfiles) option is automatically `false`.
+
+#### onlyFiles
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `true`
+
+Return only files.
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*', { onlyFiles: false }); // ['index.js', 'src']
+fg.sync('*', { onlyFiles: true });  // ['index.js']
+```
+
+#### stats
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+Enables an [object mode](#objectmode) with an additional field:
+
+* stats ([`fs.Stats`][node_js_fs_class_fs_stats]) — instance of `fs.Stats`
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*', { stats: false }); // ['src/index.js']
+fg.sync('*', { stats: true });  // [{ name: 'index.js', path: 'src/index.js', dirent: <fs.Dirent>, stats: <fs.Stats> }]
+```
+
+> :book: Returns `fs.stat` instead of `fs.lstat` for symbolic links when the [`followSymbolicLinks`](#followsymboliclinks) option is specified.
+>
+> :warning: Unlike [object mode](#objectmode) this mode requires additional calls to the file system. On average, this mode is slower at least twice. See [old and modern mode](#old-and-modern-mode) for more details.
+
+#### unique
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `true`
+
+Ensures that the returned entries are unique.
+
+```js
+fg.sync(['*.json', 'package.json'], { unique: false }); // ['package.json', 'package.json']
+fg.sync(['*.json', 'package.json'], { unique: true });  // ['package.json']
+```
+
+If `true` and similar entries are found, the result is the first found.
+
+### Matching control
+
+#### braceExpansion
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `true`
+
+Enables Bash-like brace expansion.
+
+> :1234: [Syntax description][bash_hackers_syntax_expansion_brace] or more [detailed description][micromatch_braces].
+
+```js
+dir/
+├── abd
+├── acd
+└── a{b,c}d
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync('a{b,c}d', { braceExpansion: false }); // ['a{b,c}d']
+fg.sync('a{b,c}d', { braceExpansion: true });  // ['abd', 'acd']
+```
+
+#### caseSensitiveMatch
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `true`
+
+Enables a [case-sensitive][wikipedia_case_sensitivity] mode for matching files.
+
+```js
+dir/
+├── file.txt
+└── File.txt
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync('file.txt', { caseSensitiveMatch: false }); // ['file.txt', 'File.txt']
+fg.sync('file.txt', { caseSensitiveMatch: true });  // ['file.txt']
+```
+
+#### dot
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+Allow patterns to match entries that begin with a period (`.`).
+
+> :book: Note that an explicit dot in a portion of the pattern will always match dot files.
+
+```js
+dir/
+├── .editorconfig
+└── package.json
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*', { dot: false }); // ['package.json']
+fg.sync('*', { dot: true });  // ['.editorconfig', 'package.json']
+```
+
+#### extglob
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `true`
+
+Enables Bash-like `extglob` functionality.
+
+> :1234: [Syntax description][micromatch_extglobs].
+
+```js
+dir/
+├── README.md
+└── package.json
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*.+(json|md)', { extglob: false }); // []
+fg.sync('*.+(json|md)', { extglob: true });  // ['README.md', 'package.json']
+```
+
+#### globstar
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `true`
+
+Enables recursively repeats a pattern containing `**`. If `false`, `**` behaves exactly like `*`.
+
+```js
+dir/
+└── a
+    └── b
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync('**', { onlyFiles: false, globstar: false }); // ['a']
+fg.sync('**', { onlyFiles: false, globstar: true });  // ['a', 'a/b']
+```
+
+#### baseNameMatch
+
+* Type: `boolean`
+* Default: `false`
+
+If set to `true`, then patterns without slashes will be matched against the basename of the path if it contains slashes.
+
+```js
+dir/
+└── one/
+    └── file.md
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync('*.md', { baseNameMatch: false }); // []
+fg.sync('*.md', { baseNameMatch: true });  // ['one/file.md']
+```
+
+## FAQ
+
+## What is a static or dynamic pattern?
+
+All patterns can be divided into two types:
+
+* **static**. A pattern is considered static if it can be used to get an entry on the file system without using matching mechanisms. For example, the `file.js` pattern is a static pattern because we can just verify that it exists on the file system.
+* **dynamic**. A pattern is considered dynamic if it cannot be used directly to find occurrences without using a matching mechanisms. For example, the `*` pattern is a dynamic pattern because we cannot use this pattern directly.
+
+A pattern is considered dynamic if it contains the following characters (`…` — any characters or their absence) or options:
+
+* The [`caseSensitiveMatch`](#casesensitivematch) option is disabled
+* `\\` (the escape character)
+* `*`, `?`, `!` (at the beginning of line)
+* `[…]`
+* `(…|…)`
+* `@(…)`, `!(…)`, `*(…)`, `?(…)`, `+(…)` (respects the [`extglob`](#extglob) option)
+* `{…,…}`, `{…..…}` (respects the [`braceExpansion`](#braceexpansion) option)
+
+## How to write patterns on Windows?
+
+Always use forward-slashes in glob expressions (patterns and [`ignore`](#ignore) option). Use backslashes for escaping characters. With the [`cwd`](#cwd) option use a convenient format.
+
+**Bad**
+
+```ts
+[
+	'directory\\*',
+	path.join(process.cwd(), '**')
+]
+```
+
+**Good**
+
+```ts
+[
+	'directory/*',
+	fg.convertPathToPattern(process.cwd()) + '/**'
+]
+```
+
+> :book: Use the [`.convertPathToPattern`](#convertpathtopatternpath) package to convert Windows-style path to a Unix-style path.
+
+Read more about [matching with backslashes][micromatch_backslashes].
+
+## Why are parentheses match wrong?
+
+```js
+dir/
+└── (special-*file).txt
+```
+
+```js
+fg.sync(['(special-*file).txt']) // []
+```
+
+Refers to Bash. You need to escape special characters:
+
+```js
+fg.sync(['\\(special-*file\\).txt']) // ['(special-*file).txt']
+```
+
+Read more about [matching special characters as literals][picomatch_matching_special_characters_as_literals]. Or use the [`.escapePath`](#escapepathpath).
+
+## How to exclude directory from reading?
+
+You can use a negative pattern like this: `!**/node_modules` or `!**/node_modules/**`. Also you can use [`ignore`](#ignore) option. Just look at the example below.
+
+```js
+first/
+├── file.md
+└── second/
+    └── file.txt
+```
+
+If you don't want to read the `second` directory, you must write the following pattern: `!**/second` or `!**/second/**`.
+
+```js
+fg.sync(['**/*.md', '!**/second']);                 // ['first/file.md']
+fg.sync(['**/*.md'], { ignore: ['**/second/**'] }); // ['first/file.md']
+```
+
+> :warning: When you write `!**/second/**/*` it means that the directory will be **read**, but all the entries will not be included in the results.
+
+You have to understand that if you write the pattern to exclude directories, then the directory will not be read under any circumstances.
+
+## How to use UNC path?
+
+You cannot use [Uniform Naming Convention (UNC)][unc_path] paths as patterns (due to syntax) directly, but you can use them as [`cwd`](#cwd) directory or use the `fg.convertPathToPattern` method.
+
+```ts
+// cwd
+fg.sync('*', { cwd: '\\\\?\\C:\\Python27' /* or //?/C:/Python27 */ });
+fg.sync('Python27/*', { cwd: '\\\\?\\C:\\' /* or //?/C:/ */ });
+
+// .convertPathToPattern
+fg.sync(fg.convertPathToPattern('\\\\?\\c:\\Python27') + '/*');
+```
+
