Package Exports
- del
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.

Delete files and 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.
🔥 Want to strengthen your core JavaScript skills and master ES6?
I would personally recommend this awesome ES6 course by Wes Bos.
Install
$ npm install --save delUsage
const del = require('del');
del(['tmp/*.js', '!tmp/unicorn.js']).then(paths => {
console.log('Deleted files and 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!
