    anymatch [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/micromatch/anymatch.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/micromatch/anymatch) [![Coverage Status](https://img.shields.io/coveralls/micromatch/anymatch.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/micromatch/anymatch?branch=master)
    ======
    Javascript module to match a string against a regular expression, glob, string,
    or function that takes the string as an argument and returns a truthy or falsy
    value. The matcher can also be an array of any or all of these. Useful for
    allowing a very flexible user-defined config to define things like file paths.
    
    __Note: This module has Bash-parity, please be aware that Windows-style backslashes are not supported as separators. See https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch#backslashes for more information.__
    
    
    Usage
    -----
    ```sh
    npm install anymatch
    ```
    
    #### anymatch(matchers, testString, [returnIndex], [options])
    * __matchers__: (_Array|String|RegExp|Function_)
    String to be directly matched, string with glob patterns, regular expression
    test, function that takes the testString as an argument and returns a truthy
    value if it should be matched, or an array of any number and mix of these types.
    * __testString__: (_String|Array_) The string to test against the matchers. If
    passed as an array, the first element of the array will be used as the
    `testString` for non-function matchers, while the entire array will be applied
    as the arguments for function matchers.
    * __options__: (_Object_ [optional]_) Any of the [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch#options) options.
        * __returnIndex__: (_Boolean [optional]_) If true, return the array index of
    the first matcher that that testString matched, or -1 if no match, instead of a
    boolean result.
    
    ```js
    const anymatch = require('anymatch');
    
    const matchers = [ 'path/to/file.js', 'path/anyjs/**/*.js', /foo.js$/, string => string.includes('bar') && string.length > 10 ] ;
    
    anymatch(matchers, 'path/to/file.js'); // true
    anymatch(matchers, 'path/anyjs/baz.js'); // true
    anymatch(matchers, 'path/to/foo.js'); // true
    anymatch(matchers, 'path/to/bar.js'); // true
    anymatch(matchers, 'bar.js'); // false
    
    // returnIndex = true
    anymatch(matchers, 'foo.js', {returnIndex: true}); // 2
    anymatch(matchers, 'path/anyjs/foo.js', {returnIndex: true}); // 1
    
    // any picomatc
    
    // using globs to match directories and their children
    anymatch('node_modules', 'node_modules'); // true
    anymatch('node_modules', 'node_modules/somelib/index.js'); // false
    anymatch('node_modules/**', 'node_modules/somelib/index.js'); // true
    anymatch('node_modules/**', '/absolute/path/to/node_modules/somelib/index.js'); // false
    anymatch('**/node_modules/**', '/absolute/path/to/node_modules/somelib/index.js'); // true
    
    const matcher = anymatch(matchers);
    ['foo.js', 'bar.js'].filter(matcher);  // [ 'foo.js' ]
    anymatch master* 
    
    ```
    
    #### anymatch(matchers)
    You can also pass in only your matcher(s) to get a curried function that has
    already been bound to the provided matching criteria. This can be used as an
    `Array#filter` callback.
    
    ```js
    var matcher = anymatch(matchers);
    
    matcher('path/to/file.js'); // true
    matcher('path/anyjs/baz.js', true); // 1
    
    ['foo.js', 'bar.js'].filter(matcher); // ['foo.js']
    ```
    
    Changelog
    ----------
    [See release notes page on GitHub](https://github.com/micromatch/anymatch/releases)
    
    - **v3.0:** Removed `startIndex` and `endIndex` arguments. Node 8.x-only.
    - **v2.0:** [micromatch](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch) moves away from minimatch-parity and inline with Bash. This includes handling backslashes differently (see https://github.com/micromatch/micromatch#backslashes for more information).
    - **v1.2:** anymatch uses [micromatch](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch)
    for glob pattern matching. Issues with glob pattern matching should be
    reported directly to the [micromatch issue tracker](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch/issues).
