+
+> Glob matching for javascript/node.js. A drop-in replacement and faster alternative to minimatch and multimatch.
+
+Micromatch supports all of the same matching features as [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) and [multimatch](https://github.com/sindresorhus/multimatch).
+
+* [mm()](#usage) is the same as [multimatch()](https://github.com/sindresorhus/multimatch)
+* [mm.match()](#match) is the same as [minimatch.match()](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch)
+* use [mm.isMatch()](#ismatch) instead of [minimatch()](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch)
+
+## Install
+
+Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
+
+```sh
+$ npm install --save micromatch
+```
+
+## Start matching!
+
+```js
+var mm = require('micromatch');
+console.log(mm(['']))
+```
+
+***
+
+### Features
+
+* [Drop-in replacement](#switch-from-minimatch) for [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) and [multimatch](https://github.com/sindresorhus/multimatch)
+* Built-in support for multiple glob patterns, like `['foo/*.js', '!bar.js']`
+* [Brace Expansion](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/braces) (`foo/bar-{1..5}.md`, `one/{two,three}/four.md`)
+* Typical glob patterns, like `**/*`, `a/b/*.js`, or `['foo/*.js', '!bar.js']`
+* Methods like `.isMatch()`, `.contains()` and `.any()`
+
+**Extended globbing features:**
+
+* Logical `OR` (`foo/bar/(abc|xyz).js`)
+* Regex character classes (`foo/bar/baz-[1-5].js`)
+* POSIX [bracket expressions](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/expand-brackets) (`**/[[:alpha:][:digit:]]/`)
+* [extglobs](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/extglob) (`**/+(x|y)`, `!(a|b)`, etc).
+
+You can combine these to create whatever matching patterns you need.
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+// double-negation!
+mm(['fa', 'fb', 'f', 'fo'], '!(f!(o))');
+//=> ['fo']
+```
+
+## Why switch to micromatch?
+
+* Native support for multiple glob patterns, no need for wrappers like [multimatch](https://github.com/sindresorhus/multimatch)
+* [10-55x faster](#benchmarks) and more performant than [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) and [multimatch](https://github.com/sindresorhus/multimatch). This is achieved through a combination of caching and regex optimization strategies, a fundamentally different approach than minimatch.
+* More extensive support for the Bash 4.3 specification
+* More complete extglob support
+* Extensive [unit tests](./test) (approx. 1,300 tests). Minimatch fails many of the tests.
+
+### Switch from minimatch
+
+Use `mm.isMatch()` instead of `minimatch()`:
+
+```js
+mm.isMatch('foo', 'b*');
+//=> false
+```
+
+Use `mm.match()` instead of `minimatch.match()`:
+
+```js
+mm.match(['foo', 'bar'], 'b*');
+//=> 'bar'
+```
+
+### Switch from multimatch
+
+Same signature:
+
+```js
+mm(['foo', 'bar', 'baz'], ['f*', '*z']);
+//=> ['foo', 'baz']
+```
+
+***
+
+## Usage
+
+Add micromatch to your node.js project:
+
+```js
+var mm = require('micromatch');
+```
+
+**Signature**
+
+```js
+mm(array_of_strings, glob_patterns[, options]);
+```
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+mm(['foo', 'bar', 'baz'], 'b*');
+//=> ['bar', 'baz']
+```
+
+### Usage examples
+
+**Brace expansion**
+
+Match files with `.js` or `.txt` extensions.
+
+```js
+mm(['a.js', 'b.md', 'c.txt'], '*.{js,txt}');
+//=> ['a.js', 'c.txt']
+```
+
+**Extglobs**
+
+Match anything except for files with the `.md` extension.
+
+```js
+mm(files, '**/*.!(md)');
+
+//=> ['a.js', 'c.txt']
+```
+
+**Multiple patterns**
+
+Match using an array of patterns.
+
+```js
+mm(['a.md', 'b.js', 'c.txt', 'd.json'], ['*.md', '*.txt']);
+//=> ['a.md', 'c.txt']
+```
+
+**Negation patterns:**
+
+Behavior is designed to be what users would expect, based on conventions that are already well-established.
+
+* [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) behavior is used when the pattern is a string, so patterns are **inclusive by default**.
+* [multimatch](https://github.com/sindresorhus/multimatch) behavior is used when an array of patterns is passed, so patterns are **exclusive by default**.
+
+```js
+mm(['a.js', 'b.md', 'c.txt'], '!*.{js,txt}');
+//=> ['b.md']
+
+mm(['a.md', 'b.js', 'c.txt', 'd.json'], ['*.*', '!*.{js,txt}']);
+//=> ['a.md', 'd.json']
+```
+
+***
+
+## API methods
+
+```js
+var mm = require('micromatch');
+```
+
+### .match
+
+```js
+mm.match(array, globString);
+```
+
+Return an array of files that match the given glob pattern. Useful if you only need to use a single glob pattern.
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+mm.match(['ab', 'a/b', 'bb', 'b/c'], '?b');
+//=> ['ab', 'bb']
+
+mm.match(['ab', 'a/b', 'bb', 'b/c'], '*/b');
+//=> ['a/b']
+```
+
+### .isMatch
+
+```js
+mm.isMatch(filepath, globString);
+```
+
+Returns true if a file path matches the given glob pattern.
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+mm.isMatch('.verb.md', '*.md');
+//=> false
+
+mm.isMatch('.verb.md', '*.md', {dot: true});
+//=> true
+```
+
+### .contains
+
+Returns true if any part of a file path matches the given glob pattern. Think of this is "has path" versus "is path".
+
+**Example**
+
+`.isMatch()` would return false for both of the following:
+
+```js
+mm.contains('a/b/c', 'a/b');
+//=> true
+
+mm.contains('a/b/c', 'a/*');
+//=> true
+```
+
+### .matcher
+
+Returns a function for matching using the supplied pattern. e.g. create your own "matcher". The advantage of this method is that the pattern can be compiled outside of a loop.
+
+**Pattern**
+
+Can be any of the following:
+
+* `glob/string`
+* `regex`
+* `function`
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+var isMatch = mm.matcher('*.md');
+var files = [];
+
+['a.md', 'b.txt', 'c.md'].forEach(function(fp) {
+ if (isMatch(fp)) {
+ files.push(fp);
+ }
+});
+```
+
+### .filter
+
+Returns a function that can be passed to `Array#filter()`.
+
+**Params**
+
+* `patterns` **{String|Array}**:
+
+**Examples**
+
+Single glob:
+
+```js
+var fn = mm.filter('*.md');
+['a.js', 'b.txt', 'c.md'].filter(fn);
+//=> ['c.md']
+
+var fn = mm.filter('[a-c]');
+['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'].filter(fn);
+//=> ['a', 'b', 'c']
+```
+
+Array of glob patterns:
+
+```js
+var arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];
+
+var fn = mm.filter(['{1..10}', '![7-9]', '!{3..4}']);
+arr.filter(fn);
+//=> [1, 2, 5, 6, 10]
+```
+
+_(Internally this function generates the matching function by using the [matcher](#matcher) method. You can use the [matcher](#matcher) method directly to create your own filter function)_
+
+### .any
+
+Returns true if a file path matches any of the given patterns.
+
+```js
+mm.any(filepath, patterns, options);
+```
+
+**Params**
+
+* filepath `{String}`: The file path to test.
+* patterns `{String|Array}`: One or more glob patterns
+* options: `{Object}`: options to pass to the `.matcher()` method.
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+mm.any('abc', ['!*z']);
+//=> true
+mm.any('abc', ['a*', 'z*']);
+//=> true
+mm.any('abc', 'a*');
+//=> true
+mm.any('abc', ['z*']);
+//=> false
+```
+
+### .expand
+
+Returns an object with a regex-compatible string and tokens.
+
+```js
+mm.expand('*.js');
+
+// when `track` is enabled (for debugging), the `history` array is used
+// to record each mutation to the glob pattern as it's converted to regex
+{ options: { track: false, dot: undefined, makeRe: true, negated: false },
+ pattern: '(.*\\/|^)bar\\/(?:(?!(?:^|\\/)\\.).)*?',
+ history: [],
+ tokens:
+ { path:
+ { whole: '**/bar/**',
+ dirname: '**/bar/',
+ filename: '**',
+ basename: '**',
+ extname: '',
+ ext: '' },
+ is:
+ { glob: true,
+ negated: false,
+ globstar: true,
+ dotfile: false,
+ dotdir: false },
+ match: {},
+ original: '**/bar/**',
+ pattern: '**/bar/**',
+ base: '' } }
+```
+
+### .makeRe
+
+Create a regular expression for matching file paths based on the given pattern:
+
+```js
+mm.makeRe('*.js');
+//=> /^(?:(?!\.)(?=.)[^/]*?\.js)$/
+```
+
+## Options

+
+***
+
+## Other features
+
+Micromatch also supports the following.
+
+### Extended globbing
+
+#### extglobs
+
+Extended globbing, as described by the bash man page:
+
+| **pattern** | **regex equivalent** | **description** |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `?(pattern-list)` | `(... | ...)?` | Matches zero or one occurrence of the given patterns |
+| `*(pattern-list)` | `(... | ...)*` | Matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns |
+| `+(pattern-list)` | `(... | ...)+` | Matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns |
+| `@(pattern-list)` | `(... | ...)` <sup>*</sup> | Matches one of the given patterns |
+| `!(pattern-list)` | N/A | Matches anything except one of the given patterns |
+
+<sup><strong>*</strong></sup> `@` isn't a RegEx character.
+
+Powered by [extglob](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/extglob). Visit that library for the full range of options or to report extglob related issues.
+
+See [extglob](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/extglob) for more information about extended globs.
+
+#### brace expansion
+
+In simple cases, brace expansion appears to work the same way as the logical `OR` operator. For example, `(a|b)` will achieve the same result as `{a,b}`.
+
+Here are some powerful features unique to brace expansion (versus character classes):
+
+* range expansion: `a{1..3}b/*.js` expands to: `['a1b/*.js', 'a2b/*.js', 'a3b/*.js']`
+* nesting: `a{c,{d,e}}b/*.js` expands to: `['acb/*.js', 'adb/*.js', 'aeb/*.js']`
+
+Visit [braces](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/braces) to ask questions and create an issue related to brace-expansion, or to see the full range of features and options related to brace expansion.
+
+#### regex character classes
+
+With the exception of brace expansion (`{a,b}`, `{1..5}`, etc), most of the special characters convert directly to regex, so you can expect them to follow the same rules and produce the same results as regex.
+
+For example, given the list: `['a.js', 'b.js', 'c.js', 'd.js', 'E.js']`:
+
+* `[ac].js`: matches both `a` and `c`, returning `['a.js', 'c.js']`
+* `[b-d].js`: matches from `b` to `d`, returning `['b.js', 'c.js', 'd.js']`
+* `[b-d].js`: matches from `b` to `d`, returning `['b.js', 'c.js', 'd.js']`
+* `a/[A-Z].js`: matches and uppercase letter, returning `['a/E.md']`
+
+Learn about [regex character classes](http://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html).
+
+#### regex groups
+
+Given `['a.js', 'b.js', 'c.js', 'd.js', 'E.js']`:
+
+* `(a|c).js`: would match either `a` or `c`, returning `['a.js', 'c.js']`
+* `(b|d).js`: would match either `b` or `d`, returning `['b.js', 'd.js']`
+* `(b|[A-Z]).js`: would match either `b` or an uppercase letter, returning `['b.js', 'E.js']`
+
+As with regex, parenthese can be nested, so patterns like `((a|b)|c)/b` will work. But it might be easier to achieve your goal using brace expansion.
+
+#### POSIX bracket expressions
+
+**Example**
+
+```js
+mm.isMatch('a1', '[[:alpha:][:digit:]]');
+//=> true
+```
+
+See [expand-brackets](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/expand-brackets) for more information about extended bracket expressions.
+
+***
+
+## Notes
+
+Whenever possible parsing behavior for patterns is based on globbing specifications in Bash 4.3. Patterns that aren't described by Bash follow wildmatch spec (used by git).
