# is-glob [![NPM version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/is-glob.svg?style=flat)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-glob) [![NPM monthly downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/is-glob.svg?style=flat)](https://npmjs.org/package/is-glob) [![NPM total downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dt/is-glob.svg?style=flat)](https://npmjs.org/package/is-glob) [![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/micromatch/is-glob/dev)](https://github.com/micromatch/is-glob/actions)
> Returns `true` if the given string looks like a glob pattern or an extglob pattern. This makes it easy to create code that only uses external modules like node-glob when necessary, resulting in much faster code execution and initialization time, and a better user experience.
Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save is-glob
```

## Usage
```js
var isGlob = require('is-glob');
```
### Default behavior
**True**
Patterns that have glob characters or regex patterns will return `true`:
```js
isGlob('!foo.js');
isGlob('*.js');
isGlob('**/abc.js');
isGlob('abc/*.js');
isGlob('abc/(aaa|bbb).js');
isGlob('abc/[a-z].js');
isGlob('abc/{a,b}.js');
//=> true
```
Extglobs
```js
isGlob('abc/@(a).js');
isGlob('abc/!(a).js');
isGlob('abc/+(a).js');
isGlob('abc/*(a).js');
isGlob('abc/?(a).js');
//=> true
```
**False**
Escaped globs or extglobs return `false`:
```js
isGlob('abc/\\@(a).js');
isGlob('abc/\\!(a).js');
isGlob('abc/\\+(a).js');
isGlob('abc/\\*(a).js');
isGlob('abc/\\?(a).js');
isGlob('\\!foo.js');
isGlob('\\*.js');
isGlob('\\*\\*/abc.js');
isGlob('abc/\\*.js');
isGlob('abc/\\(aaa|bbb).js');
isGlob('abc/\\[a-z].js');
isGlob('abc/\\{a,b}.js');
//=> false
```
Patterns that do not have glob patterns return `false`:
```js
isGlob('abc.js');
isGlob('abc/def/ghi.js');
isGlob('foo.js');
isGlob('abc/@.js');
isGlob('abc/+.js');
isGlob('abc/?.js');
isGlob();
isGlob(null);
//=> false
```
Arrays are also `false` (If you want to check if an array has a glob pattern, use [has-glob](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/has-glob)):
```js
isGlob(['**/*.js']);
isGlob(['foo.js']);
//=> false
```
### Option strict
When `options.strict === false` the behavior is less strict in determining if a pattern is a glob. Meaning that
some patterns that would return `false` may return `true`. This is done so that matching libraries like [micromatch](https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch) have a chance at determining if the pattern is a glob or not.
**True**
Patterns that have glob characters or regex patterns will return `true`:
```js
isGlob('!foo.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('*.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('**/abc.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/*.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/(aaa|bbb).js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/[a-z].js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/{a,b}.js', {strict: false});
//=> true
```
Extglobs
```js
isGlob('abc/@(a).js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/!(a).js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/+(a).js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/*(a).js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/?(a).js', {strict: false});
//=> true
```
**False**
Escaped globs or extglobs return `false`:
```js
isGlob('\\!foo.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('\\*.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('\\*\\*/abc.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/\\*.js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/\\(aaa|bbb).js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/\\[a-z].js', {strict: false});
isGlob('abc/\\{a,b}.js', {strict: false});
//=> false
```
