* Package name : node-ignore
Version : 5.1.4
Upstream Author : Kael Zhang <i@kael.me>
* Url : https://github.com/kaelzhang/node-ignore
* Licenses : Expat
Programming Lang : JavaScript
"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".
The package is needed by eslint (already packaged in experimental but
crippled by the lack of ignore).
I plan to maintain this package in the JavaScript team, keeping
debianization in following Git repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/node-ignore.git
