del Build Status XO code style

Delete files and folders using globs

Similar to rimraf, but with a Promise API and support for multiple files and globbing. It also protects you against deleting the current working directory and above.


🐶

Support this project and improve your JavaScript skills with this great ES6 course by Wes Bos.
Try his free JavaScript 30 course for a taste of what to expect. You might also like his React and Sublime course.


Install

$ npm install --save del

Usage

const del = require('del');

del(['tmp/*.js', '!tmp/unicorn.js']).then(paths => {
	console.log('Deleted files and folders:\n', paths.join('\n'));
});

Beware

The glob pattern ** matches all children and the parent.

So this won't work:

del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets/goat.png']);

You have to explicitly ignore the parent directories too:

del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets', '!public/assets/goat.png']);

Suggestions on how to improve this welcome!
