I want to use lint-staged
to run hooks only on staged files in a node.js project. The docs suggest adding the following code to the package.json
file;
{
"lint-staged": {
"*": "your-cmd"
}
}
I have also seen the following code elsewhere in another codebase;
"lint-staged": {
"**/*": "prettier --write --ignore-unknown"
}
What purpose does the asterisk(s) serve? I don't suppose it's simply a placeholder. Thanks for the help.
CodePudding user response:
As the readme says, those are glob patterns.
"*": "your-cmd"
will match any file (*
matches anything by definition)
"**/*": "prettier --write --ignore-unknown"
**
- "≥ 0 characters crossing directory boundaries", followed by/
- A directory boundary, followed by*
- Anything
