Brace patterns are great for matching ranges. Users (and implementors) shouldn\textquotesingle{}t have to think about whether or not they will break their application (or yours) from accidentally defining an aggressive brace pattern. {\itshape Braces is the only library that offers a \href{\#performance}{\texttt{ solution to this problem}}}.


\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item {\bfseries{Safe(r)}}\+: Braces isn\textquotesingle{}t vulnerable to DoS attacks like \href{https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion}{\texttt{ brace-\/expansion}}, \href{https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch}{\texttt{ minimatch}} and \href{https://github.com/sindresorhus/multimatch}{\texttt{ multimatch}} (a different bug than the \href{https://medium.com/node-security/minimatch-redos-vulnerability-590da24e6d3c\#.jew0b6mpc}{\texttt{ other regex DoS bug}}).
\item {\bfseries{Accurate}}\+: complete support for the \href{www.gnu.org/software/bash/}{\texttt{ Bash 4.\+3 Brace Expansion}} specification (passes all of the Bash braces tests)
\item {\bfseries{\href{\#benchmarks}{\texttt{ fast and performant}}}}\+: Starts fast, runs fast and \href{\#performance}{\texttt{ scales well}} as patterns increase in complexity.
\item {\bfseries{Organized code base}}\+: with parser and compiler that are eas(y$\vert$ier) to maintain and update when edge cases crop up.
\item {\bfseries{Well-\/tested}}\+: thousands of test assertions. Passes 100\% of the \href{https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch}{\texttt{ minimatch}} and \href{https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion}{\texttt{ brace-\/expansion}} unit tests as well (as of the writing of this).
\end{DoxyItemize}\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32186}{}\doxysection{Usage}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32186}
The main export is a function that takes one or more brace {\ttfamily patterns} and {\ttfamily options}.


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{var braces = require('braces');}
\DoxyCodeLine{braces(pattern[, options]); }

\end{DoxyCode}


By default, braces returns an optimized regex-\/source string. To get an array of brace patterns, use {\ttfamily brace.\+expand()}.

The following section explains the difference in more detail. \+\_\+(If you\textquotesingle{}re curious about \char`\"{}why\char`\"{} braces does this by default, see \href{\#brace-matching-pitfalls}{\texttt{ brace matching pitfalls}}\+\_\+.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32187}{}\doxysubsection{Optimized vs. expanded braces}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32187}

\end{DoxyCode}


{\bfseries{Expanded}}

To expand patterns the same way as Bash or \href{https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch}{\texttt{ minimatch}}, use the \href{\#expand}{\texttt{ .expand}} method\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{console.log(braces.expand('a/\{x,y,z\}/b'));}
\DoxyCodeLine{//=> ['a/x/b', 'a/y/b', 'a/z/b'] }

\end{DoxyCode}


Or use \href{\#optionsexpand}{\texttt{ options.\+expand}}\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{console.log(braces('a/\{x,y,z\}/b', \{expand: true\}));}

Brace expansion is a type of parameter expansion that was made popular by unix shells for generating lists of strings, as well as regex-\/like matching when used alongside wildcards (globs).

In addition to \char`\"{}expansion\char`\"{}, braces are also used for matching. In other words\+:


\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item \href{\#brace-expansion}{\texttt{ brace expansion}} is for generating new lists
\item \href{\#brace-matching}{\texttt{ brace matching}} is for filtering existing lists
\end{DoxyItemize}

$<$details$>$

There are two main types of brace expansion\+:


\begin{DoxyEnumerate}
\item {\bfseries{lists}}\+: which are defined using comma-\/separated values inside curly braces\+: {\ttfamily \{a,b,c\}}
\item {\bfseries{sequences}}\+: which are defined using a starting value and an ending value, separated by two dots\+: {\ttfamily a\{1..3\}b}. Optionally, a third argument may be passed to define a \char`\"{}step\char`\"{} or increment to use\+: {\ttfamily a\{1..100..10\}b}. These are also sometimes referred to as \char`\"{}ranges\char`\"{}.
\end{DoxyEnumerate}

Here are some example brace patterns to illustrate how they work\+:

{\bfseries{Sets}}


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{a,b,c\}       => a b c}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{a,b,c\}\{1,2\}  => a1 a2 b1 b2 c1 c2 }

\end{DoxyCode}


{\bfseries{Sequences}}


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{1..9\}        => 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{4..-\/4\}       => 4 3 2 1 0 -\/1 -\/2 -\/3 -\/4}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{1..20..3\}    => 1 4 7 10 13 16 19}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{a..j\}        => a b c d e f g h i j}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{j..a\}        => j i h g f e d c b a}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{a..z..3\}     => a d g j m p s v y }

\end{DoxyCode}


{\bfseries{Combination}}

Sets and sequences can be mixed together or used along with any other strings.


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{a,b,c\}\{1..3\}   => a1 a2 a3 b1 b2 b3 c1 c2 c3}
\DoxyCodeLine{foo/\{a,b,c\}/bar => foo/a/bar foo/b/bar foo/c/bar }

\end{DoxyCode}


The fact that braces can be \char`\"{}expanded\char`\"{} from relatively simple patterns makes them ideal for quickly generating test fixtures, file paths, and similar use cases.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32204}{}\doxysection{Brace matching}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32204}
In addition to {\itshape expansion}, brace patterns are also useful for performing regular-\/expression-\/like matching.

For example, the pattern {\ttfamily foo/\{1..3\}/bar} would match any of following strings\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{foo/1/bar}
\DoxyCodeLine{foo/2/bar}
\DoxyCodeLine{foo/3/bar }

\end{DoxyCode}


But not\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{baz/1/qux}
\DoxyCodeLine{baz/2/qux}
\DoxyCodeLine{baz/3/qux }

\end{DoxyCode}


Braces can also be combined with \href{https://github.com/jonschlinkert/micromatch}{\texttt{ glob patterns}} to perform more advanced wildcard matching. For example, the pattern {\ttfamily $\ast$/\{1..3\}/$\ast$} would match any of following strings\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{foo/1/bar}
\DoxyCodeLine{foo/2/bar}
\DoxyCodeLine{foo/3/bar}
\DoxyCodeLine{baz/1/qux}
\DoxyCodeLine{baz/2/qux}
\DoxyCodeLine{baz/3/qux }

\end{DoxyCode}

Although brace patterns offer a user-\/friendly way of matching ranges or sets of strings, there are also some major disadvantages and potential risks you should be aware of.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32206}{}\doxysubsection{tldr}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32206}

\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item brace expansion can eat up a huge amount of processing resources
\item as brace patterns increase {\itshape linearly in size}, the system resources required to expand the pattern increase exponentially

For a more detailed explanation with examples, see the \href{\#geometric-complexity}{\texttt{ geometric complexity}} section.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32207}{}\doxysubsection{The solution}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32207}
Jump to the \href{\#performance}{\texttt{ performance section}} to see how Braces solves this problem in comparison to other libraries.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32208}{}\doxysubsection{Geometric complexity}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32208}
At minimum, brace patterns with sets limited to two elements have quadradic or {\ttfamily O(n$^\wedge$2)} complexity. But the complexity of the algorithm increases exponentially as the number of sets, {\itshape and elements per set}, increases, which is {\ttfamily O(n$^\wedge$c)}.

For example, the following sets demonstrate quadratic ({\ttfamily O(n$^\wedge$2)}) complexity\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{1,2\}\{3,4\}      => (2X2)    => 13 14 23 24}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{1,2\}\{3,4\}\{5,6\} => (2X2X2)  => 135 136 145 146 235 236 245 246 }

\end{DoxyCode}


But add an element to a set, and we get a n-\/fold Cartesian product with {\ttfamily O(n$^\wedge$c)} complexity\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{1,2,3\}\{4,5,6\}\{7,8,9\} => (3X3X3) => 147 148 149 157 158 159 167 168 169 247 248 }
\DoxyCodeLine{                                    249 257 258 259 267 268 269 347 348 349 357 }
\DoxyCodeLine{                                    358 359 367 368 369 }

\end{DoxyCode}


Now, imagine how this complexity grows given that each element is a n-\/tuple\+:


\begin{DoxyCode}{0}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{1..100\}\{1..100\}         => (100X100)     => 10,000 elements (38.4 kB)}
\DoxyCodeLine{\{1..100\}\{1..100\}\{1..100\} => (100X100X100) => 1,000,000 elements (5.76 MB) }

\end{DoxyCode}


Although these examples are clearly contrived, they demonstrate how brace patterns can quickly grow out of control.

Braces is not only screaming fast, it\textquotesingle{}s also more accurate the other brace expansion libraries.\hypertarget{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32210}{}\doxysubsection{Better algorithms}\label{md_sfcode_node_modules_webpack_node_modules_braces_README_autotoc_md32210}
Fortunately there is a solution to the \href{\#brace-matching-pitfalls}{\texttt{ \char`\"{}brace bomb\char`\"{} problem}}\+: {\itshape don\textquotesingle{}t expand brace patterns into an array when they\textquotesingle{}re used for matching}.

Instead, convert the pattern into an optimized regular expression. This is easier said than done, and braces is the only library that does this currently.

{\bfseries{The proof is in the numbers}}

Minimatch gets exponentially slower as patterns increase in complexity, braces does not. The following results were generated using {\ttfamily braces()} and {\ttfamily minimatch.\+brace\+Expand()}, respectively.
