base-ignore

Adds an .ignore method that parses .gitignore and converts the patterns from wildmatch to glob patterns, so they can then be passed to glob, minimatch, micromatch, gulp.src, glob-stream, etc

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save base-ignore

Usage

var ignore = require('base-ignore');
var Base = require('base');
var app = new Base();

// register plugin
app.use(ignore());

Example

var mm = require('micromatch');

var arr = ['node_modules/foo/index.js', 'foo.js', 'bar.txt'];
console.log(mm(arr, '**/*.js'));
//=> ['node_modules/foo/index.js', 'foo.js'];

var arr = ['node_modules/foo/index.js', 'foo.js', 'bar.txt'];
console.log(mm(arr, '**/*.js', {ignore: app.ignore()}));
//=> ['foo.js'];

Caching

Patterns in .gitignore are parsed and converted to glob patterns and the converted patterns are cached. This is useful in applications that need to potentially match against the same set of files repeatedly.

API

.gitignore

Get the .gitignore patterns for the current project. Also caches patterns on the app.cache.ignored[cwd] array.

Params

• patterns {String|Array}
• options {Object}
• returns {Array}: Returns the array of patterns stored for the current working directory

Example

var gitignored = app.gitignore();
console.log(gitignored);

// or get the patterns from the cache
app.gitignore();
console.log(app.cache.ignored[process.cwd()]);

.ignore

Add one or more ignore patterns to app.cache.ignored for the current working directory.

Params

• patterns {String|Array}
• options {Object}
• returns {Array}: Returns the array of patterns stored for the current working directory

Example

app.ignore('foo');
console.log(app.cache.ignored[process.cwd()]);

Params

• fp {String}
• options {String}: If app.ignore() and/or app.gitignore() have already been called, this will use the cached ignored patterns, but you can also/alternatively pass ignore patterns on options.ignore
• returns {Boolean}: Returns true if the filepath is ignored.

Example

console.log(app.isIgnored('.DS_Store'));
//=> true
console.log(app.isIgnored('index.js'));
//=> false
