# ignore-walk [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/npm/ignore-walk.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/npm/ignore-walk) Nested/recursive `.gitignore`/`.npmignore` parsing and filtering. Walk a directory creating a list of entries, parsing any `.ignore` files met along the way to exclude files. ## USAGE ```javascript const walk = require('ignore-walk') // All options are optional, defaults provided. // this function returns a promise, but you can also pass a cb // if you like that approach better. walk({ path: '...', // root dir to start in. defaults to process.cwd() ignoreFiles: [ '.gitignore' ], // list of filenames. defaults to ['.ignore'] includeEmpty: true|false, // true to include empty dirs, default false follow: true|false // true to follow symlink dirs, default false }, callback) // to walk synchronously, do it this way: const result = walk.sync({ path: '/wow/such/filepath' }) ``` If you want to get at the underlying classes, they're at `walk.Walker` and `walk.WalkerSync`. ## OPTIONS * `path` The path to start in. Defaults to `process.cwd()` * `ignoreFiles` Filenames to treat as ignore files. The default is `['.ignore']`. (This is where you'd put `.gitignore` or `.npmignore` or whatever.) If multiple ignore files are in a directory, then rules from each are applied in the order that the files are listed. * `includeEmpty` Set to `true` to include empty directories, assuming they are not excluded by any of the ignore rules. If not set, then this follows the standard `git` behavior of not including directories that are empty. Note: this will cause an empty directory to be included if it would contain an included entry, even if it would have otherwise been excluded itself. For example, given the rules `*` (ignore everything) and `!/a/b/c` (re-include the entry at `/a/b/c`), the directory `/a/b` will be included if it is empty. * `follow` Set to `true` to treat symbolically linked directories as directories, recursing into them. There is no handling for nested symlinks, so `ELOOP` errors can occur in some cases when using this option. Defaults to `false`.
