glob-intersection

Find the intersection of two glob patterns

intersect = require("glob-intersection")

intersect("**/*.{js,coffee}", "/hello/world/*.??")
# => "/hello/world/*.js"

intersect("hello", "world")
# => false

intersect("{a,b,c,x,d}", "{x,y,z,c,w}")
# => "{c,x}"

intersect("*a*b*", "*x*y*")
# => "*{a*{b*x*y,x*{b*y,y*b}},x*{a*{b*y,y*b},y*a*b}}*"
# braces(_) => '["*a*b*x*y*","*x*a*b*y*","*a*x*b*y*","*x*y*a*b*","*x*a*y*b*","*a*x*y*b*"]'

Caveats

Full compatability with Bash or other globbing libraries was not a design goal. In a lot of ways this library is more permissive. For example, * will match dotfiles and ** will simply match any character, so a pattern like **cd will intersect with /abcd while the glob match itself would fail.

Please see the tests for more examples.

Supported glob features:

1. * matches any number of non / character
2. ** matches any number of characters
3. ? maches exactly one non / character
4. {a,b} matches either a or b and brackets can be nested

Any and all issue reports are appreciated!
