glob-cli

The glob module wrapped up as a cli tool.

Example use

This cli-tool is only for the purpose of demonstration. The use case is pretty slim if at all existent and you will almost always be better off using your operating systems version of find.

The first drawback is that you will have to quote all your glob patterns as passed to the cli tool, otherwise your shell will most likely do the expansion and not the module.

$ ./glob '*.js'
main.js
$ ./glob '*'
glob
main.js

Source code description

./glob

Demonstrating simple generic setup of @gustavnikolaj/async-main-wrap. Calls the main.js file using the module - that's it.

./main.js

There's four parts of this code:

1. Promisifying glob using node cores promisify from the util module.
2. Using yargs to parse arguments out.
3. Calling glob with the arguments from 2.
4. Printing out the matched files.
