When using glob patterns for file system operations, ensure optimal performance and consistent behavior by configuring glob libraries appropriately and handling paths efficiently:
expandDirectories: false
when replacing libraries like fast-glob with alternatives that have different defaultsabsolute: true
when you need absolute paths in resultscwd
to limit search scope and improve performance// Less efficient: may search unnecessary directories
const files = globSync(pattern, {
ignore: ['**/node_modules/**']
})
// More efficient: properly scoped search with correct options
const files = globSync(pattern, {
cwd: path.resolve(path.dirname(id), dir),
absolute: true,
expandDirectories: false,
ignore: ['**/node_modules/**']
})
dot: true
) when neededRemember that glob operations are computationally expensive, so always consider the algorithmic efficiency of your approach when working with large directory trees.
