Quickstart
const micromatch = require('micromatch');
// micromatch(list, patterns[, options]);
The main export takes a list of strings and one or more glob patterns:
console.log(micromatch(['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'qux'], ['f*', 'b*'])) //=> ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
console.log(micromatch(['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'qux'], ['*', '!b*'])) //=> ['foo', 'qux']
Use .isMatch() to for boolean matching:
console.log(micromatch.isMatch('foo', 'f*')) //=> true
console.log(micromatch.isMatch('foo', ['b*', 'f*'])) //=> true
Switching from minimatch and multimatch is easy!
Why use micromatch?
micromatch is a replacement for minimatch and multimatch
- Supports all of the same matching features as minimatch and multimatch
- More complete support for the Bash 4.3 specification than minimatch and multimatch. Micromatch passes all of the spec tests from bash, including some that bash still fails.
- Fast & Performant - Loads in about 5ms and performs fast matches.
- Glob matching - Using wildcards (
*
and?
), globstars (**
) for nested directories - Advanced globbing - Supports extglobs, braces, and POSIX brackets, and support for escaping special characters with
\
or quotes. - Accurate - Covers more scenarios than minimatch
- Well tested - More than 5,000 test assertions
- Windows support - More reliable windows support than minimatch and multimatch.
- Safe - Micromatch is not subject to DoS with brace patterns like minimatch and multimatch.
Matching features
- Support for multiple glob patterns (no need for wrappers like multimatch)
- Wildcards (
**
,*.js
) - Negation (
'!a/*.js'
,'*!(b).js'
) - extglobs (
+(x|y)
,!(a|b)
) - POSIX character classes (
[[:alpha:][:digit:]]
) - brace expansion (
foo/{1..5}.md
,bar/{a,b,c}.js
) - regex character classes (
foo-[1-5].js
) - regex logical "or" (
foo/(abc|xyz).js
)
You can mix and match these features to create whatever patterns you need!
Switching to micromatch
(There is one notable difference between micromatch and minimatch in regards to how backslashes are handled. See the notes about backslashes for more information.)
From minimatch
Use micromatch.isMatch() instead of minimatch()
:
console.log(micromatch.isMatch('foo', 'b*')); //=> false
Use micromatch.match() instead of minimatch.match()
:
console.log(micromatch.match(['foo', 'bar'], 'b*')); //=> 'bar'
From multimatch
Same signature:
console.log(micromatch(['foo', 'bar', 'baz'], ['f*', '*z'])); //=> ['foo', 'baz']

Options Examples
options.basename
Allow glob patterns without slashes to match a file path based on its basename. Same behavior as minimatch option matchBase
.
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Example
micromatch(['a/b.js', 'a/c.md'], '*.js');
//=> []
micromatch(['a/b.js', 'a/c.md'], '*.js', { basename: true });
//=> ['a/b.js']
options.bash
Enabled by default, this option enforces bash-like behavior with stars immediately following a bracket expression. Bash bracket expressions are similar to regex character classes, but unlike regex, a star following a bracket expression does not repeat the bracketed characters. Instead, the star is treated the same as any other star.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Example
const files = ['abc', 'ajz'];
console.log(micromatch(files, '[a-c]*'));
//=> ['abc', 'ajz']
console.log(micromatch(files, '[a-c]*', { bash: false }));
options.expandRange
Type: function
Default: undefined
Custom function for expanding ranges in brace patterns. The fill-range library is ideal for this purpose, or you can use custom code to do whatever you need.
Example
The following example shows how to create a glob that matches a numeric folder name between 01
and 25
, with leading zeros.
const fill = require('fill-range');
const regex = micromatch.makeRe('foo/{01..25}/bar', {
expandRange(a, b) {
return `(${fill(a, b, { toRegex: true })})`;
}
});
console.log(regex)
//=> /^(?:foo\/((?:0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5]))\/bar)$/
console.log(regex.test('foo/00/bar')) // false
console.log(regex.test('foo/01/bar')) // true
console.log(regex.test('foo/10/bar')) // true
console.log(regex.test('foo/22/bar')) // true
console.log(regex.test('foo/25/bar')) // true
console.log(regex.test('foo/26/bar')) // false
options.format
Type: function
Default: undefined
Custom function for formatting strings before they're matched.
Example
// strip leading './' from strings
const format = str => str.replace(/^\.\//, '');
const isMatch = picomatch('foo/*.js', { format });
console.log(isMatch('./foo/bar.js')) //=> true
options.ignore
String or array of glob patterns to match files to ignore.
Type: String|Array
Default: undefined
const isMatch = micromatch.matcher('*', { ignore: 'f*' });
console.log(isMatch('foo')) //=> false
console.log(isMatch('bar')) //=> true
console.log(isMatch('baz')) //=> true
options.matchBase
Alias for options.basename.
options.noextglob
Disable extglob support, so that extglobs are regarded as literal characters.
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
Examples
console.log(micromatch(['a/z', 'a/b', 'a/!(z)'], 'a/!(z)'));
//=> ['a/b', 'a/!(z)']
console.log(micromatch(['a/z', 'a/b', 'a/!(z)'], 'a/!(z)', { noextglob: true }));
//=> ['a/!(z)'] (matches only as literal characters)
options.nonegate
Disallow negation (!
) patterns, and treat leading !
as a literal character to match.
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
options.noglobstar
Disable matching with globstars (**
).
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
micromatch(['a/b', 'a/b/c', 'a/b/c/d'], 'a/**');
//=> ['a/b', 'a/b/c', 'a/b/c/d']
micromatch(['a/b', 'a/b/c', 'a/b/c/d'], 'a/**', {noglobstar: true});
//=> ['a/b']
options.nonull
Alias for options.nullglob.
options.nullglob
If true
, when no matches are found the actual (arrayified) glob pattern is returned instead of an empty array. Same behavior as minimatch option nonull
.
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
options.onIgnore
const onIgnore = ({ glob, regex, input, output }) => {
console.log({ glob, regex, input, output });
// { glob: '*', regex: /^(?:(?!\.)(?=.)[^\/]*?\/?)$/, input: 'foo', output: 'foo' }
};
const isMatch = micromatch.matcher('*', { onIgnore, ignore: 'f*' });
isMatch('foo');
isMatch('bar');
isMatch('baz');
options.onMatch
const onMatch = ({ glob, regex, input, output }) => {
console.log({ input, output });
// { input: 'some\\path', output: 'some/path' }
// { input: 'some\\path', output: 'some/path' }
// { input: 'some\\path', output: 'some/path' }
};
const isMatch = micromatch.matcher('**', { onMatch, posixSlashes: true });
isMatch('some\\path');
isMatch('some\\path');
isMatch('some\\path');
options.onResult
const onResult = ({ glob, regex, input, output }) => {
console.log({ glob, regex, input, output });
};
const isMatch = micromatch('*', { onResult, ignore: 'f*' });
isMatch('foo');
isMatch('bar');
isMatch('baz');
options.posixSlashes
Convert path separators on returned files to posix/unix-style forward slashes. Aliased as unixify
for backwards compatibility.
Type: Boolean
Default: true
on windows, false
everywhere else.
Example
console.log(micromatch.match(['a\\b\\c'], 'a/**'));
//=> ['a/b/c']
console.log(micromatch.match(['a\\b\\c'], { posixSlashes: false }));
//=> ['a\\b\\c']
options.unescape
Remove backslashes from escaped glob characters before creating the regular expression to perform matches.
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
Example
In this example we want to match a literal *
:
console.log(micromatch.match(['abc', 'a\\*c'], 'a\\*c'));
//=> ['a\\*c']
console.log(micromatch.match(['abc', 'a\\*c'], 'a\\*c', { unescape: true }));
//=> ['a*c']
Extended globbing
Micromatch supports the following extended globbing features.
Extglobs
Extended globbing, as described by the bash man page:
| pattern | regex equivalent | description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ?(pattern)
| (pattern)?
| Matches zero or one occurrence of the given patterns |
| *(pattern)
| (pattern)*
| Matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns |
| +(pattern)
| (pattern)+
| Matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns |
| @(pattern)
| (pattern)
* | Matches one of the given patterns |
| !(pattern)
| N/A (equivalent regex is much more complicated) | Matches anything except one of the given patterns |
* Note that @
isn't a regex character.
Braces
Brace patterns can be used to match specific ranges or sets of characters.
Example
The pattern {f,b}*/{1..3}/{b,q}*
would match any of following strings:
foo/1/bar
foo/2/bar
foo/3/bar
baz/1/qux
baz/2/qux
baz/3/qux
Visit braces to see the full range of features and options related to brace expansion, or to create brace matching or expansion related issues.
Regex character classes
Given the list: ['a.js', 'b.js', 'c.js', 'd.js', 'E.js']
:
[ac].js
: matches botha
andc
, returning['a.js', 'c.js']
[b-d].js
: matches fromb
tod
, returning['b.js', 'c.js', 'd.js']
a/[A-Z].js
: matches and uppercase letter, returning['a/E.md']
Learn about regex character classes.
Regex groups
Given ['a.js', 'b.js', 'c.js', 'd.js', 'E.js']
:
(a|c).js
: would match eithera
orc
, returning['a.js', 'c.js']
(b|d).js
: would match eitherb
ord
, returning['b.js', 'd.js']
(b|[A-Z]).js
: would match eitherb
or an uppercase letter, returning['b.js', 'E.js']
As with regex, parens can be nested, so patterns like ((a|b)|c)/b
will work. Although brace expansion might be friendlier to use, depending on preference.
POSIX bracket expressions
POSIX brackets are intended to be more user-friendly than regex character classes. This of course is in the eye of the beholder.
Example
console.log(micromatch.isMatch('a1', '[[:alpha:][:digit:]]')) //=> true
console.log(micromatch.isMatch('a1', '[[:alpha:][:alpha:]]')) //=> false
Notes
Bash 4.3 parity
Whenever possible matching behavior is based on behavior Bash 4.3, which is mostly consistent with minimatch.
However, it's suprising how many edge cases and rabbit holes there are with glob matching, and since there is no real glob specification, and micromatch is more accurate than both Bash and minimatch, there are cases where best-guesses were made for behavior. In a few cases where Bash had no answers, we used wildmatch (used by git) as a fallback.
Backslashes
There is an important, notable difference between minimatch and micromatch in regards to how backslashes are handled in glob patterns.
- Micromatch exclusively and explicitly reserves backslashes for escaping characters in a glob pattern, even on windows, which is consistent with bash behavior. More importantly, unescaping globs can result in unsafe regular expressions.
- Minimatch converts all backslashes to forward slashes, which means you can't use backslashes to escape any characters in your glob patterns.
We made this decision for micromatch for a couple of reasons:
- Consistency with bash conventions.
- Glob patterns are not filepaths. They are a type of regular language that is converted to a JavaScript regular expression. Thus, when forward slashes are defined in a glob pattern, the resulting regular expression will match windows or POSIX path separators just fine.
A note about joining paths to globs
Note that when you pass something like path.join('foo', '*')
to micromatch, you are creating a filepath and expecting it to still work as a glob pattern. This causes problems on windows, since the path.sep
is \\
.
In other words, since \\
is reserved as an escape character in globs, on windows path.join('foo', '*')
would result in foo\\*
, which tells micromatch to match *
as a literal character. This is the same behavior as bash.
To solve this, you might be inspired to do something like 'foo\\*'.replace(/\\/g, '/')
, but this causes another, potentially much more serious, problem.

All contributions are welcome! Please read the contributing guide to get started.
Bug reports
Please create an issue if you encounter a bug or matching behavior that doesn't seem correct. If you find a matching-related issue, please:
- research existing issues first (open and closed)
- visit the GNU Bash documentation to see how Bash deals with the pattern
- visit the minimatch documentation to cross-check expected behavior in node.js
- if all else fails, since there is no real specification for globs we will probably need to discuss expected behavior and decide how to resolve it. which means any detail you can provide to help with this discussion would be greatly appreciated.
Platform issues
It's important to us that micromatch work consistently on all platforms. If you encounter any platform-specific matching or path related issues, please let us know (pull requests are also greatly appreciated).
