Package Exports
- gitignore-fs
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 (gitignore-fs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
gitignore-fs
Determine if any file is gitignored. This is intended to be a complete implementation of the gitignore spec, including $GIT_DIR
, $GIT_DIR/info/excludes
, and the core.excludesFile
configuration variable.
Requires Node >= 8.
Getting started
npm install --save gitignore-fs
const Gitignore = require('gitignore-fs')
const gitignore = new Gitignore()
console.log(gitignore.ignores('node_modules')) // true or false depending on your config
API
class Gitignore
Each instance of this class keeps a separate cache of gitignore rules.
new Gitignore([options])
Creates a new Gitignore instance.
options.initialRules
(string[]
, optional)
These rules will be applied at lowest precedence (lower than rules from core.excludesFile
).
Paths with a slash in the beginning or middle are relative to the closest enclosing git directory.
options.finalRules
(string[]
, optional)
These rules will be applied at highest precedence (higher than .gitignore
files).
Paths with a slash in the beginning or middle are relative to the closest enclosing git directory.
.ignores(path)
Determines if the given path
is gitignored asynchronously.
path
(string
, required)
The path to test. Must end with / if it is a directory!
Returns (Promise<boolean>
)
A promise that will resolve to true
if path
is gitignored, false
otherwise
.ignoresSync(path)
Determines if the given path
is gitignored synchronously.
path
(string
, required)
The path to test. Must end with / if it is a directory!
