Expand POSIX bracket expressions (character classes) in glob patterns.

Install with npm

$ npm i expand-brackets --save

var brackets = require('expand-brackets');

brackets('[![:lower:]]');
//=> '[^a-z]'

Return true if the given string matches the bracket expression:

brackets.isMatch('A', '[![:lower:]]');
//=> true

brackets.isMatch('a', '[![:lower:]]');
//=> false

Make a regular expression from a bracket expression:

brackets.makeRe('[![:lower:]]');
//=> /[^a-z]/

The following named POSIX bracket expressions are supported:

• [:alnum:]: Alphanumeric characters (a-zA-Z0-9])
• [:alpha:]: Alphabetic characters (a-zA-Z])
• [:blank:]: Space and tab ([ t])
• [:digit:]: Digits ([0-9])
• [:lower:]: Lowercase letters ([a-z])
• [:punct:]: Punctuation and symbols. ([!"#$%&'()*+, -./:;<=>?@ [\]^_``{|}~])
• [:upper:]: Uppercase letters ([A-Z])
• [:word:]: Word characters (letters, numbers and underscores) ([A-Za-z0-9_])
• [:xdigit:]: Hexadecimal digits ([A-Fa-f0-9])

Collating sequences are not supported.

• extglob: Convert extended globs to regex-compatible strings. Add (almost) the expressive power of regular expressions to… more
• is-glob: Returns true if the given string looks like a glob pattern.
• is-extglob: Returns true if a string has an extglob.
• is-posix-bracket: Returns true if the given string is a POSIX bracket expression (POSIX character class).
• micromatch: Glob matching for javascript/node.js. A drop-in replacement and faster alternative to minimatch and multimatch. Just… more
