This PR adds a
maxDepthoption tofs.glob(),fs.globSync(), andfs.promises.glob().Motivation
Broad glob patterns such as
**currently traverse the complete matching directory tree. Results can be filtered further afterwards but that does not avoid the associated filesystem work for use cases that only need "nearby entries".This is particularly costly for large directory trees or mounted filesystems.
Similar functionality is already available in existing 3rd party packages like
tinyglobbyin various ways.Implementation
Depth is measured relative to
cwd:cwdhas depth 0The default is
Infinity(compatible with existing default behavior). A finite limit applies to both returned matches and filesystem traversal, allowing subtrees to be skipped.Relative patterns cannot bypass the limit using
.., and paths outsidecwd, including paths on another Windows volume, are outside any finite depth.Absolute patterns can traverse ancestors as needed to reach
cwd, but matches outsidecwdare excluded when the limit is finite.
