I'm trying to setup a glob array for my javascript concat build task in gulp. The directory structure looks as follows:
├── about
│ └── about.js
├── assets
├── contact
├── core
│ ├── navbar
│ │ ├── navbar.js
│ │ └── navbar.test.js
│ ├── routing.js
│ ├── routing.test.js
│ ├── utils.js
│ └── utils.test.js
├── generated
│ ├── footer.js
│ ├── header.js
│ └── templates.js
├── home
├── app.js
└── config.js
The order of the files is important:
- generated/header.js
- app.js
- any of the *.js files, except those here below
- generated/templates.js
- generated/footer.js
I've wildly tried all kinds of wildcards combination, but the globbing isn't strong with me.
var inputFiles = [
'generated/header.js',
'app.js',
'!(generated)**/*.js', // <=---- ???
'generated/templates.js',
'generated/footer.js',
'!**/*.test.js'
];
So how do I include all *.js
files except those from a subdirectory?
Thanks.
The best I came up with:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var tap = require('gulp-tap');
gulp.task('default', function() {
return gulp.src([
'generated/header.js',
'app.js',
'*.js',
'./!(generated)/**/*.js', // <- All subdirs except 'generated'
'generated/{templates,footer}.js',
'!**/*.test.js',
'!node_modules/**'
]).pipe(tap(function(file) {
console.log(file.path);
}));
});
Running it:

The main trick is avoiding the "!" character at the beginning of glob when including files.
https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch#comparisons-to-other-fnmatchglob-implementations
"If the pattern starts with a ! character, then it is negated."
ps. Placement of the negated globs doesn't matter. They are always moved to the end behind the scenes.
