 - # ignore
 - 
 - `ignore` is a manager, filter and parser which implemented in pure JavaScript according to the [.gitignore spec 2.22.1](http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore).
 - 
 - `ignore` is used by eslint, gitbook and [many others](https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended/ignore).
 - 
 - Pay **ATTENTION** that [`minimatch`](https://www.npmjs.org/package/minimatch) (which used by `fstream-ignore`) does not follow the gitignore spec.
 - 
 - To filter filenames according to a .gitignore file, I recommend this npm package, `ignore`.
 - 
 - To parse an `.npmignore` file, you should use `minimatch`, because an `.npmignore` file is parsed by npm using `minimatch` and it does not work in the .gitignore way.
 - 
 - ### Tested on
 - 
 - `ignore` is fully tested, and has more than **five hundreds** of unit tests.
 - 
 - - 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).

 -   - [`glob-gitignore`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob-gitignore) matches files using patterns and filters them according to gitignore rules.
 - - [Upgrade Guide](#upgrade-guide)
 - 
 - ## Install
 - 
 - ```sh
 - npm i ignore
 - ```
 - 
 - ## 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, an error will be thrown
 - ig.ignores('./abc')
 - 
 - // WRONG, for it will never happen, and an error will be thrown
 - // If the gitignore rule locates at the root directory,
 - // `'/abc'` should be changed to `'abc'`.
 - // ```
 - // path.relative('/', '/abc')  -> 'abc'
 - // ```
 - ig.ignores('/abc')
 - 
 - // WRONG, that it is an absolute path on Windows, an error will be thrown
 - ig.ignores('C:\\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'
 - ]
 - ```
 - 
 - #### 2. filenames and dirnames
 - 
 - `node-ignore` does NO `fs.stat` during path matching, so for the example below:
 - 
 - ```js
 - // First, we add a ignore pattern to ignore a directory
 - ig.add('config/')
 - 
 - // `ig` does NOT know if 'config', in the real world,
 - //   is a normal file, directory or something.
 - 
 - ig.ignores('config')
 - // `ig` treats `config` as a file, so 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.
 - 
 - 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)
 - })
 - ```
 - 
 - ## .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.
 - 
 - ## .test(pathname: Pathname) since 5.0.0
 - 
 - Returns `TestResult`
 - 
 - ```ts
 - interface TestResult {
 -   ignored: boolean
 -   // true if the `pathname` is finally unignored by some negative pattern
 -   unignored: boolean
 - }
 - ```
 - 
 - - `{ignored: true, unignored: false}`: the `pathname` is ignored
 - - `{ignored: false, unignored: true}`: the `pathname` is unignored
 - - `{ignored: false, unignored: false}`: the `pathname` is never matched by any ignore rules.
 - 
 - ## static `ignore.isPathValid(pathname): boolean` since 5.0.0
 - 
 - Check whether the `pathname` is an valid `path.relative()`d path according to the [convention](#1-pathname-should-be-a-pathrelatived-pathname).
 - 
 - This method is **NOT** used to check if an ignore pattern is valid.
 - 
 - ```js
 - ignore.isPathValid('./foo')  // false
 - ```
 - 
 - ## ignore(options)
 - 
 - ### `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` (the default value), otherwise case sensitive.
 - 
 - ```js
 - const ig = ignore({
 -   ignorecase: false
 - })
 - 
 - ig.add('*.png')
 - 
 - ig.ignores('*.PNG')  // false
 - ```
 - 
 - ### `options.ignoreCase?: boolean` since 5.2.0
 - 
 - Which is alternative to `options.ignoreCase`
 - 
 - ### `options.allowRelativePaths?: boolean` since 5.2.0
 - 
 - This option brings backward compatibility with projects which based on `ignore@4.x`. If `options.allowRelativePaths` is `true`, `ignore` will not check whether the given path to be tested is [`path.relative()`d](#pathname-conventions).
 - 
 - However, passing a relative path, such as `'./foo'` or `'../foo'`, to test if it is ignored or not is not a good practise, which might lead to unexpected behavior
 - 
 - ```js
 - ignore({
 -   allowRelativePaths: true
 - }).ignores('../foo/bar.js') // And it will not throw
 - ```
 - 
 - ****
 - 
 - # Upgrade Guide
 - 
 - ## Upgrade 4.x -> 5.x
 - 
 - Since `5.0.0`, if an invalid `Pathname` passed into `ig.ignores()`, an error will be thrown, unless `options.allowRelative = true` is passed to the `Ignore` factory.
 - 
 - While `ignore < 5.0.0` did not make sure what the return value was, as well as
 - 
 - ```ts
 - .ignores(pathname: Pathname): boolean
 - 
 - .filter(pathnames: Array<Pathname>): Array<Pathname>
 - 
 - .createFilter(): (pathname: Pathname) => boolean
 - 
 - .test(pathname: Pathname): {ignored: boolean, unignored: boolean}
 - ```
 - 
 - See the convention [here](#1-pathname-should-be-a-pathrelatived-pathname) for details.
 - 
 - If there are invalid pathnames, the conversion and filtration should be done by users.
 - 
 - ```js
 - import {isPathValid} from 'ignore' // introduced in 5.0.0
 - 
 - const paths = [
 -   // invalid
 -   //////////////////
 -   '',
 -   false,
 -   '../foo',
 -   '.',
 -   //////////////////
 - 
 -   // valid
 -   'foo'
 - ]
 - .filter(isValidPath)
 - 
 - ig.filter(paths)
 - ```
 - 
 - ## 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')
 - ```
 - 
 - ## 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.
