wildcard

Very simple wildcard matching, which is designed to provide the same functionality that is found in the eve eventing library.

Usage

It works with strings:

var wildcard = require('wildcard');

console.log(wildcard('foo.*', 'foo.bar'));
// --> true

console.log(wildcard('foo.*', 'foo'));
// --> true

Arrays:

var wildcard = require('wildcard');
var testdata = [
  'a.b.c',
  'a.b',
  'a',
  'a.b.d'
];

console.log(wildcard('a.b.*', testdata));
// --> ['a.b.c', 'a.b', 'a.b.d']

Objects (matching against keys):

var wildcard = require('wildcard');
var testdata = {
  'a.b.c' : {},
  'a.b'   : {},
  'a'     : {},
  'a.b.d' : {}
};

console.log(wildcard('a.*.c', testdata));
// --> { 'a.b.c': {} }

Alternative Implementations

• https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob

Great for full file-based wildcard matching.

A well cared for and loved JS wildcard matcher.
