Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (del) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

del

Delete files/folders using globs

Pretty much rimraf with a Promise API and support for multiple files and globbing. It also protects you against deleting the current working directory and above.

Install

$ npm install --save del

Usage

var del = require('del');

del(['tmp/*.js', '!tmp/unicorn.js']).then(paths => {
    console.log('Deleted files/folders:\n', paths.join('\n'));
});

Beware

The glob pattern ** matches all children and the parent.

So this won't work:

del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets/goat.png']);

You have to explicitly ignore the parent directories too:

del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets', '!public/assets/goat.png']);

Suggestions on how to improve this welcome!
