## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install is-extglob
```
## Usage
```js
var isExtglob = require('is-extglob');
```
**True**
```js
isExtglob('?(abc)');
isExtglob('@(abc)');
isExtglob('!(abc)');
isExtglob('*(abc)');
isExtglob('+(abc)');
```
**False**
Escaped extglobs:
```js
isExtglob('\\?(abc)');
isExtglob('\\@(abc)');
isExtglob('\\!(abc)');
isExtglob('\\*(abc)');
isExtglob('\\+(abc)');
```
Everything else...
```js
isExtglob('foo.js');
isExtglob('!foo.js');
isExtglob('*.js');
isExtglob('**/abc.js');
isExtglob('abc/*.js');
isExtglob('abc/(aaa|bbb).js');
isExtglob('abc/[a-z].js');
isExtglob('abc/{a,b}.js');
isExtglob('abc/?.js');

isExtglob('abc/def/ghi.js');
```
