| # ignore |
| |
| `ignore` is a manager, filter and parser which implemented in pure JavaScript according to the .gitignore [spec](http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore). |
| |
| Pay attention that [`minimatch`](https://www.npmjs.org/package/minimatch) does not work in the gitignore way. To filter filenames according to .gitignore file, I recommend this module. |
| |
| ##### Tested on |
| |
| - Linux + Node: `0.8` - `7.x` |
| - Windows + Node: `0.10` - `7.x`, node < `0.10` is not tested due to the lack of support of appveyor. |
| |
| Actually, `ignore` does not rely on any versions of node specially. |
| |
| Since `4.0.0`, ignore will no longer support `node < 6` by default, to use in node < 6, `require('ignore/legacy')`. For details, see [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/kaelzhang/node-ignore/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md). |

| - See Also: |
| - [`glob-gitignore`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob-gitignore) matches files using patterns and filters them according to gitignore rules. |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```js |
| import ignore from 'ignore' |
| const ig = ignore().add(['.abc/*', '!.abc/d/']) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Filter the given paths |
| |
| ```js |
| const paths = [ |
| '.abc/a.js', // filtered out |
| '.abc/d/e.js' // included |
| ] |
| |
| ig.filter(paths) // ['.abc/d/e.js'] |
| ig.ignores('.abc/a.js') // true |
| ``` |
| |
| ### As the filter function |
| |
| ```js |
| paths.filter(ig.createFilter()); // ['.abc/d/e.js'] |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Win32 paths will be handled |
| |
| ```js |
| ig.filter(['.abc\\a.js', '.abc\\d\\e.js']) |
| // if the code above runs on windows, the result will be |
| // ['.abc\\d\\e.js'] |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Why another ignore? |
| |
| - `ignore` is a standalone module, and is much simpler so that it could easy work with other programs, unlike [isaacs](https://npmjs.org/~isaacs)'s [fstream-ignore](https://npmjs.org/package/fstream-ignore) which must work with the modules of the fstream family. |
| |
| - `ignore` only contains utility methods to filter paths according to the specified ignore rules, so |
| - `ignore` never try to find out ignore rules by traversing directories or fetching from git configurations. |
| - `ignore` don't cares about sub-modules of git projects. |
| |
| - Exactly according to [gitignore man page](http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore), fixes some known matching issues of fstream-ignore, such as: |
| - '`/*.js`' should only match '`a.js`', but not '`abc/a.js`'. |
| - '`**/foo`' should match '`foo`' anywhere. |
| - Prevent re-including a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded. |
| - Handle trailing whitespaces: |
| - `'a '`(one space) should not match `'a '`(two spaces). |
| - `'a \ '` matches `'a '` |
| - All test cases are verified with the result of `git check-ignore`. |
| |
| # Methods |
| |
| ## .add(pattern: string | Ignore): this |
| ## .add(patterns: Array<string | Ignore>): this |
| |
| - **pattern** `String | Ignore` An ignore pattern string, or the `Ignore` instance |
| - **patterns** `Array<String | Ignore>` Array of ignore patterns. |
| |
| Adds a rule or several rules to the current manager. |
| |
| Returns `this` |
| |
| Notice that a line starting with `'#'`(hash) is treated as a comment. Put a backslash (`'\'`) in front of the first hash for patterns that begin with a hash, if you want to ignore a file with a hash at the beginning of the filename. |
| |
| ```js |
| ignore().add('#abc').ignores('#abc') // false |
| ignore().add('\#abc').ignores('#abc') // true |
| ``` |
| |
| `pattern` could either be a line of ignore pattern or a string of multiple ignore patterns, which means we could just `ignore().add()` the content of a ignore file: |
| |
| ```js |
| ignore() |
| .add(fs.readFileSync(filenameOfGitignore).toString()) |
| .filter(filenames) |
| ``` |
| |
| `pattern` could also be an `ignore` instance, so that we could easily inherit the rules of another `Ignore` instance. |
| |
| ## <strike>.addIgnoreFile(path)</strike> |
| |
| REMOVED in `3.x` for now. |
| |
| To upgrade `ignore@2.x` up to `3.x`, use |
| |
| ```js |
| import fs from 'fs' |
| |
| if (fs.existsSync(filename)) { |
| ignore().add(fs.readFileSync(filename).toString()) |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| instead. |
| |
| ## .filter(paths: Array<Pathname>): Array<Pathname> |
| |
| ```ts |
| type Pathname = string |
| ``` |
| |
| Filters the given array of pathnames, and returns the filtered array. |
| |
| - **paths** `Array.<Pathname>` The array of `pathname`s to be filtered. |
| |
| ### `Pathname` Conventions: |
| |
| #### 1. `Pathname` should be a `path.relative()`d pathname |
| |
| `Pathname` should be a string that have been `path.join()`ed, or the return value of `path.relative()` to the current directory. |
| |
| ```js |
| // WRONG |
| ig.ignores('./abc') |
| |
| // WRONG, for it will never happen. |
| // If the gitignore rule locates at the root directory, |
| // `'/abc'` should be changed to `'abc'`. |
| // ``` |
| // path.relative('/', '/abc') -> 'abc' |
| // ``` |
| ig.ignores('/abc') |
| |
| // Right |
| ig.ignores('abc') |
| |
| // Right |
| ig.ignores(path.join('./abc')) // path.join('./abc') -> 'abc' |
| ``` |
| |
| In other words, each `Pathname` here should be a relative path to the directory of the gitignore rules. |
| |
| Suppose the dir structure is: |
| |
| ``` |
| /path/to/your/repo |
| |-- a |
| | |-- a.js |
| | |
| |-- .b |
| | |
| |-- .c |
| |-- .DS_store |
| ``` |
| |
| Then the `paths` might be like this: |
| |
| ```js |
| [ |
| 'a/a.js' |
| '.b', |
| '.c/.DS_store' |
| ] |
| ``` |
| |
| Usually, you could use [`glob`](http://npmjs.org/package/glob) with `option.mark = true` to fetch the structure of the current directory: |
| |
| ```js |
| import glob from 'glob' |
| |
| glob('**', { |
| // Adds a / character to directory matches. |
| mark: true |
| }, (err, files) => { |
| if (err) { |
| return console.error(err) |
| } |
| |
| let filtered = ignore().add(patterns).filter(files) |
| console.log(filtered) |
| }) |
| ``` |
| |
| #### 2. filenames and dirnames |
| |
| `node-ignore` does NO `fs.stat` during path matching, so for the example below: |
| |
| ```js |
| ig.add('config/') |
| |
| // `ig` does NOT know if 'config' is a normal file, directory or something |
| ig.ignores('config') // And it returns `false` |
| |
| ig.ignores('config/') // returns `true` |
| ``` |
| |
| Specially for people who develop some library based on `node-ignore`, it is important to understand that. |
| |
| ## .ignores(pathname: Pathname): boolean |
| |
| > new in 3.2.0 |
| |
| Returns `Boolean` whether `pathname` should be ignored. |
| |
| ```js |
| ig.ignores('.abc/a.js') // true |
| ``` |
| |
| ## .createFilter() |
| |
| Creates a filter function which could filter an array of paths with `Array.prototype.filter`. |
| |
| Returns `function(path)` the filter function. |
| |
| ## `options.ignorecase` since 4.0.0 |
| |
| Similar as the `core.ignorecase` option of [git-config](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config), `node-ignore` will be case insensitive if `options.ignorecase` is set to `true` (default value), otherwise case sensitive. |
| |
| ```js |
| const ig = ignore({ |
| ignorecase: false |
| }) |
| |
| ig.add('*.png') |
| |
| ig.ignores('*.PNG') // false |
| ``` |

| # Upgrade Guide |
| |
| ## Upgrade 2.x -> 3.x |
| |
| - All `options` of 2.x are unnecessary and removed, so just remove them. |
| - `ignore()` instance is no longer an [`EventEmitter`](nodejs.org/api/events.html), and all events are unnecessary and removed. |
| - `.addIgnoreFile()` is removed, see the [.addIgnoreFile](#addignorefilepath) section for details. |
| |
| ## Upgrade 3.x -> 4.x |
| |
| Since `4.0.0`, `ignore` will no longer support node < 6, to use `ignore` in node < 6: |
| |
| ```js |
| var ignore = require('ignore/legacy') |
| ``` |
