matchdep

Use globule to filter npm module dependencies by name.

Examples

var matchdep = require('matchdep');

// Filter dependencies (by autoloading nearest package.json)
matchdep.filter('mini*');

// Filter devDependencies (with config string indicating file to be required)
matchdep.filterDev('grunt-contrib-*', './package.json');

// Filter peerDependencies (with config string indicating file to be required)
matchdep.filterPeer('foo-{bar,baz}', './some-other.json');

// Filter all dependencies (with explicit config provided)
matchdep.filterAll('*', require('./yet-another.json'));

// Filter all dependencies, exclude grunt (multiple matching patterns)
matchdep.filterAll(['*','!grunt']);

Usage

filter(pattern, config)
filterDev(pattern, config)
filterPeer(pattern, config)
filterAll(pattern, config)

pattern

Type: String|Array Default: 'none'

A globule compatible match pattern to filter dependencies.

config

Type: String or Object Default: Path to nearest package.json.

If config is a string, matchdep will attempt to require it. If it is an object, it will be used directly.
