Node.js check if name matches mask

Question

I have a file mask in format like:

'/some/dir/*'

I want to match it with names:

'/some/dir/file1.txt'
'/some/dir/nested/file2.txt'

Is there a standard (common) solution in node.js to check whether name matches such mask?

I could convert mask to regExp, but I wonder if there more standard way of doing this?

The wildcard module can help you:

var wildcard = require('wildcard');
var pattern  = '/some/dir/*';
var files    = [
  '/some/dir/file1.txt',
  '/some/dir/nested/file2.txt',
  '/another/dir/file3.txt',
];

files.forEach(function(file) {
  console.log(file, 'match?', wildcard(pattern, file));
});
