# @oresoftware/waldo

GNU/BSD `find` kills me sometimes, so I wrote this.

### install:  

```bash

# for command line tools

npm install -g waldo

# for library usage

npm install waldo --save

```

### At the command line:

##### Basic usage

```bash

waldo  ### lists all matching files and dirs in the current working dir

```

```bash

waldo --path="."  ### lists all matching files and dirs, in the current working dir

```

Note that if you omit the --path arg, it defaults to `$PWD/.`

```bash

waldo --path="." --dirs  ### will not list dirs, -d for short

```

```bash

waldo --path="." --files  ### will not list files, -f for short

```

```bash

waldo --path="." --symlinks  ### will not list symlinks, -s for short

```

##### Using matching

```bash

waldo --path="." -n /node_modules/   # don't match any path that has /node_modules/ in it

waldo --path="." -n ^/node_modules/   # don't match any path that starts with /node_modules/ 

waldo --path="." -n '\.js$'   # don't match any path ends that with '.js'

waldo --path="." -m '\.js$'   #  match only paths that end that with '.js'

```

# Library Usage

```js

import {WaldoSearch} from '@oresoftware/waldo';

new WaldoSearch({

  

  path,  // the path you which to search

  matchesAnyOf,  // array of strings or RegExp

  matchesNoneOf, // array of strings or RegExp

  dirs,   // list dirs

  files   // list files (true by default)

  

})

.search((err, results) => {

    // results is your array of strings

});

```

### to use with ES6 Promises

##### => Use the searchp() method

```js

new WaldoSearch({...}).searchp().then(results => {

    // results is your array of strings

});

```
