node-ignore

manager and filter for .gitignore rules - Node.js library

Description

"ignore" is a manager, filter and parser for the .gitignore spec at <https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore>, implemented in pure JavaScript.

* Standalone module, much simpler than e.g. "fstream-ignore".

* Only contains utility methods

to filter paths according to the specified ignore rules.

* Never tries to discover ignore rules

by traversing directories or fetching from git configurations.

* Doesn't care about sub-modules of git projects.

* Complies exactly to gitignore documentation

at <https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore>:

- "/*.js" should only match "a.js", not also "abc/a.js".

- "**/foo" should match "foo" anywhere.

- Prevents re-including a file excluded in a parent directory.

- Handles trailing whitespaces:

- "a " (one space) should not match "a " (two spaces).

- "a \ " matches "a ".

- All test cases are verified against "git check-ignore".
