Rich Trott d7ce99214d tools: update ESLint, fix unused vars bug
Update ESLint to 3.0.0. This includes an enhancement to `no-unused-vars`
such that it finds a few instances in our code base that it did not find
previously (fixed in previous commits readying this for landing).

del Build Status

Delete files and folders using globs

Pretty much rimraf with a Promise API and support for multiple files and globbing. It also protects you against deleting the current working directory and above.

Install

$ npm install --save del

Usage

const del = require('del');

del(['tmp/*.js', '!tmp/unicorn.js']).then(paths => {
	console.log('Deleted files and folders:\n', paths.join('\n'));
});

Beware

The glob pattern ** matches all children and the parent.

So this won't work:

del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets/goat.png']);

You have to explicitly ignore the parent directories too:

del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets', '!public/assets/goat.png']);

Suggestions on how to improve this welcome!

API

del(patterns, [options])

Returns a promise for an array of deleted paths.

del.sync(patterns, [options])

patterns

Type: string, array

See supported minimatch patterns.

options

Type: object

See the node-glob options.

	console.log('Files and folders that would be deleted:\n', paths.join('\n'));
});
