Bun includes a fast native implementation of file globbing.
## Quickstart
**Scan a directory for files matching `*.ts`**:
```ts
import { Glob } from "bun";
const glob = new Glob("*.ts");
for await (const file of glob.scan(".")) {
console.log(file); // => "index.ts"
}
```
**Match a string against a glob pattern**:
```ts
import { Glob } from "bun";
const glob = new Glob("*.ts");
glob.match("index.ts"); // => true
glob.match("index.js"); // => false
```
`Glob` is a class which implements the following interface:
```ts
class Glob {
scan(root: string | ScanOptions): AsyncIterable<string>;
scanSync(root: string | ScanOptions): Iterable<string>;
match(path: string): boolean;
}
interface ScanOptions {
/**
* The root directory to start matching from. Defaults to `process.cwd()`
*/
cwd?: string;
/**
* Allow patterns to match entries that begin with a period (`.`).
*
* @default false
*/
dot?: boolean;
/**
* Return the absolute path for entries.
*
* @default false
*/
absolute?: boolean;
/**
* Indicates whether to traverse descendants of symbolic link directories.
*
* @default false
*/
followSymlinks?: boolean;
/**
* Throw an error when symbolic link is broken
*
* @default false
*/
throwErrorOnBrokenSymlink?: boolean;
/**
* Return only files.
*
* @default true
*/
onlyFiles?: boolean;
}
```
## Supported Glob Patterns
Bun supports the following glob patterns:
### `*` - Match any number of characters except `/`
```ts
const glob = new Glob("*.ts");
glob.match("index.ts"); // => true
glob.match("src/index.ts"); // => false
```
### `**` - Match any number of characters including `/`
```ts
const glob = new Glob("**/*.ts");
glob.match("index.ts"); // => true
glob.match("src/index.ts"); // => true
glob.match("src/index.js"); // => false
```
### `{a,b,c}` - Match any of the given patterns
```ts
const glob = new Glob("{a,b,c}.ts");
glob.match("a.ts"); // => true
glob.match("b.ts"); // => true
glob.match("c.ts"); // => true
glob.match("d.ts"); // => false
```
