del Build Status

Delete files and folders using globs

Pretty much rimraf with a Promise API and support for multiple files and globbing. It also protects you against deleting the current working directory and above.


🔥 Want to strengthen your core JavaScript skills and master ES6?
I would personally recommend this awesome ES6 course by Wes Bos.


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!

API

del(patterns, [options])

Returns a promise for an array of deleted paths.

del.sync(patterns, [options])

Returns an array of deleted paths.

patterns

Type: string, array

See supported minimatch patterns.

options

Type: object

See the node-glob options.

force

Type: boolean
Default: false

Allow deleting the current working directory and outside.

dryRun

Type: boolean
Default: false

See what would be deleted.

const del = require('del');

del(['tmp/*.js'], {dryRun: true}).then(paths => {
	console.log('Files and folders that would be deleted:\n', paths.join('\n'));
});

CLI

See del-cli for a CLI for this module and trash-cli for a safe version that is suitable for running by hand.
