# ignore
`ignore` is a manager, filter and parser which implemented in pure JavaScript according to the .gitignore [spec](http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore).
Pay attention that [`minimatch`](https://www.npmjs.org/package/minimatch) does not work in the gitignore way. To filter filenames according to .gitignore file, I recommend this module.
##### Tested on
- Linux + Node: `0.8` - `7.x` - Windows + Node: `0.10` - `7.x`, node < `0.10` is not tested due to the lack of support of appveyor.
Actually, `ignore` does not rely on any versions of node specially.
Since `4.0.0`, ignore will no longer support `node < 6` by default, to use in node < 6, `require('ignore/legacy')`. For details, see [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/kaelzhang/node-ignore/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
## Table Of Main Contents
- [Usage](#usage) - [`Pathname` Conventions](#pathname-conventions) - [Guide for 2.x -> 3.x](#upgrade-2x---3x) - [Guide for 3.x -> 4.x](#upgrade-3x---4x) - See Also: - [`glob-gitignore`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob-gitignore) matches files using patterns and filters them according to gitignore rules.
## Usage
```js import ignore from 'ignore' const ig = ignore().add(['.abc/*', '!.abc/d/']) ```
### Filter the given paths
```js const paths = [ '.abc/a.js', // filtered out '.abc/d/e.js' // included ]
ig.filter(paths) // ['.abc/d/e.js'] ig.ignores('.abc/a.js') // true ```
### As the filter function
```js paths.filter(ig.createFilter()); // ['.abc/d/e.js'] ```
### Win32 paths will be handled
```js ig.filter(['.abc\\a.js', '.abc\\d\\e.js']) // if the code above runs on windows, the result will be // ['.abc\\d\\e.js'] ```
## Why another ignore?
- `ignore` is a standalone module, and is much simpler so that it could easy work with other programs, unlike [isaacs](https://npmjs.org/~isaacs)'s [fstream-ignore](https://npmjs.org/package/fstream-ignore) which must work with the modules of the fstream family.
- `ignore` only contains utility methods to filter paths according to the specified ignore rules, so - `ignore` never try to find out ignore rules by traversing directories or fetching from git configurations. - `ignore` don't cares about sub-modules of git projects.
- Exactly according to [gitignore man page](http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore), fixes some known matching issues of fstream-ignore, such as: - '`/*.js`' should only match '`a.js`', but not '`abc/a.js`'. - '`**/foo`' should match '`foo`' anywhere. - Prevent re-including a file if a parent directory of that file is excluded. - Handle trailing whitespaces: - `'a '`(one space) should not match `'a '`(two spaces). - `'a \ '` matches `'a '` - All test cases are verified with the result of `git check-ignore`.
# Methods
## .add(pattern: string | Ignore): this
## .add(patterns: Array<string | Ignore>): this
- **pattern** `String | Ignore` An ignore pattern string, or the `Ignore` instance - **patterns** `Array<String | Ignore>` Array of ignore patterns.
Adds a rule or several rules to the current manager.
Returns `this`
Notice that a line starting with `'#'`(hash) is treated as a comment. Put a backslash (`'\'`) in front of the first hash for patterns that begin with a hash, if you want to ignore a file with a hash at the beginning of the filename.
```js ignore().add('#abc').ignores('#abc') // false ignore().add('\#abc').ignores('#abc') // true ```
`pattern` could either be a line of ignore pattern or a string of multiple ignore patterns, which means we could just `ignore().add()` the content of a ignore file:
```js ignore() .add(fs.readFileSync(filenameOfGitignore).toString()) .filter(filenames) ```
`pattern` could also be an `ignore` instance, so that we could easily inherit the rules of another `Ignore` instance.
## <strike>.addIgnoreFile(path)</strike>
REMOVED in `3.x` for now.
To upgrade `ignore@2.x` up to `3.x`, use
```js import fs from 'fs'
if (fs.existsSync(filename)) { ignore().add(fs.readFileSync(filename).toString()) } ```
instead.
## .filter(paths: Array<Pathname>): Array<Pathname>
```ts type Pathname = string ```
Filters the given array of pathnames, and returns the filtered array.
- **paths** `Array.<Pathname>` The array of `pathname`s to be filtered.
### `Pathname` Conventions:
#### 1. `Pathname` should be a `path.relative()`d pathname
`Pathname` should be a string that have been `path.join()`ed, or the return value of `path.relative()` to the current directory.
```js // WRONG ig.ignores('./abc')
// WRONG, for it will never happen. // If the gitignore rule locates at the root directory, // `'/abc'` should be changed to `'abc'`. // ``` // path.relative('/', '/abc') -> 'abc' // ``` ig.ignores('/abc')
// Right ig.ignores('abc')
// Right ig.ignores(path.join('./abc')) // path.join('./abc') -> 'abc' ```
In other words, each `Pathname` here should be a relative path to the directory of the gitignore rules.
Suppose the dir structure is:
``` /path/to/your/repo |-- a | |-- a.js | |-- .b | |-- .c |-- .DS_store ```
Then the `paths` might be like this:
```js [ 'a/a.js' '.b', '.c/.DS_store' ] ```
Usually, you could use [`glob`](http://npmjs.org/package/glob) with `option.mark = true` to fetch the structure of the current directory:
```js import glob from 'glob'
glob('**', { // Adds a / character to directory matches. mark: true }, (err, files) => { if (err) { return console.error(err) }
let filtered = ignore().add(patterns).filter(files) console.log(filtered) }) ```
#### 2. filenames and dirnames
`node-ignore` does NO `fs.stat` during path matching, so for the example below:
```js ig.add('config/')
// `ig` does NOT know if 'config' is a normal file, directory or something ig.ignores('config') // And it returns `false`
ig.ignores('config/') // returns `true` ```
Specially for people who develop some library based on `node-ignore`, it is important to understand that.
## .ignores(pathname: Pathname): boolean
> new in 3.2.0
Returns `Boolean` whether `pathname` should be ignored.
```js ig.ignores('.abc/a.js') // true ```
## .createFilter()
Creates a filter function which could filter an array of paths with `Array.prototype.filter`.
Returns `function(path)` the filter function.
## `options.ignorecase` since 4.0.0
Similar as the `core.ignorecase` option of [git-config](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config), `node-ignore` will be case insensitive if `options.ignorecase` is set to `true` (default value), otherwise case sensitive.
```js const ig = ignore({ ignorecase: false })
ig.add('*.png')
ig.ignores('*.PNG') // false ```
****
# Upgrade Guide
## Upgrade 2.x -> 3.x
- All `options` of 2.x are unnecessary and removed, so just remove them. - `ignore()` instance is no longer an [`EventEmitter`](nodejs.org/api/events.html), and all events are unnecessary and removed. - `.addIgnoreFile()` is removed, see the [.addIgnoreFile](#addignorefilepath) section for details.
## Upgrade 3.x -> 4.x
Since `4.0.0`, `ignore` will no longer support node < 6, to use `ignore` in node < 6:
```js var ignore = require('ignore/legacy') ```
