Replacements for glob

tinyglobby

tinyglobby provides a similar API.

Example:

import { glob } from 'glob'
import { glob } from 'tinyglobby'

const files = await glob('**/*.ts')

Most options available to glob are available in tinyglobby, read more at the tinyglobby documentation.

fs.glob (native, since Node 22.x)

fs.glob is built into modern versions of Node.

Example:

import { glob } from 'glob'
import { glob } from 'node:fs/promises'

const files = await glob('src/**/*.ts', { 
const files = await Array.fromAsync(glob('src/**/*.ts', { 
  cwd,
}) 
})) 

You can also iterate over the results asynchronously:

for await (const result of glob('src/**/*.ts', { cwd })) {
  // result is an individual path
  console.log(result)
}

fdir

fdir offers similar functionality but through a different API (and tinyglobby is actually built on top of it).

Example:

import { fdir } from 'fdir'
import { glob } from 'glob'

const files = new fdir() 
  .withBasePath() 
  .glob('src/**/*.ts') 
  .crawl(cwd) 
  .withPromise() 
const files = await glob('src/**/*.ts', { 
  cwd, 
  maxDepth: 6
})
