glob-fs-dotfiles

library0.1.6jsnpmunverified

A middleware package for glob-fs that automatically ignores dotfiles (files and directories starting with a dot) during file globbing. Version 0.1.6 is the latest and only release. It was originally a built-in middleware for glob-fs but can be used directly when the default middleware stack is disabled. Key differentiators: provides fine-grained control over dotfile handling via options like 'dot', 'dotdirs', 'dotfiles'. The package is part of the glob-fs ecosystem but is deprecated in favor of glob-fs's built-in support.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

dotfiles

✓ import dotfiles from 'glob-fs-dotfiles';

✗ const dotfiles = require('glob-fs-dotfiles');

ESM import works if using bundler/Node supporting ESM, but package is CommonJS-only. Use require for Node < 14.

default

✓ const dotfiles = require('glob-fs-dotfiles');

✗ import { dotfiles } from 'glob-fs-dotfiles';

No named export; only default export available.

dotfiles function

✓ var glob = require('glob-fs')({}).use(require('glob-fs-dotfiles')());

✗ var glob = require('glob-fs')({}).use(require('glob-fs-dotfiles'));

dotfiles() returns a middleware function; calling it is required.

Shows require and use of glob-fs-dotfiles middleware with glob-fs, including disabling built-ins for explicit control.

var dotfiles = require('glob-fs-dotfiles'); var glob = require('glob-fs')({ builtins: false }) // disable built-ins .use(dotfiles()) // apply dotfiles middleware .readdir('*', function(err, files) { if (err) console.error(err); else console.log(files); });

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is deprecated; functionality is built into glob-fs as default middleware.

fix

Use glob-fs without this package; dotfiles are ignored by default. Or if you need to include them, use options.dot: true in glob-fs.

affects: *

gotchaMust be used with glob-fs; standalone usage not possible.

fix

Ensure glob-fs is installed and you create a glob-fs instance before using this middleware.

affects: *

gotchaRequires calling dotfiles() as a function to get the middleware, not the exported value itself.

fix

Use .use(dotfiles()) instead of .use(dotfiles).

affects: *

breakingIf you want to include dotfiles, you must pass options to the middleware: dotfiles({dot: true}).

fix

Use dotfiles({dot: true}) to include dotfiles; otherwise they are ignored.

affects: *

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: glob.use is not a function

glob-fs not imported correctly or not installed; glob.use is undefined.

fix

Install glob-fs: npm install glob-fs --save and require it before using .use().

Error: Must be used with glob-fs

This middleware is not used in the context of glob-fs.

fix

Create a glob-fs instance first: var glob = require('glob-fs')(options); glob.use(require('glob-fs-dotfiles')());

Error: Expected a function, but got something else in middleware

Forgot to call dotfiles() as a function; passed the exported value directly.

fix

Change .use(require('glob-fs-dotfiles')) to .use(require('glob-fs-dotfiles')())
