A fast and minimal alternative to globby and fast-glob, meant to behave the same way.

Both globby and fast-glob present some behavior no other globbing lib has,
which makes it hard to manually replace with something smaller and better.

This library uses only two subdependencies, compared to `globby`'s [23](https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=globby@14.0.2)
and `fast-glob`'s [17](https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=fast-glob@3.3.2).

## Usage

```js
import { glob, globSync } from 'tinyglobby';

await glob(['files/*.ts', '!**/*.d.ts'], { cwd: 'src' });
globSync(['src/**/*.ts'], { ignore: ['**/*.d.ts'] });
```

## API

- `glob(patterns: string | string[], options: GlobOptions): Promise<string[]>`: Returns a promise with an array of matches.
- `globSync(patterns: string | string[], options: GlobOptions): string[]`: Returns an array of matches.
- `convertPathToPattern(path: string): string`: Converts a path to a pattern depending on the platform.
- `escapePath(path: string): string`: Escapes a path's special characters depending on the platform.
- `isDynamicPattern(pattern: string, options?: GlobOptions): boolean`: Checks if a pattern is dynamic.

## Options

- `patterns`: An array of glob patterns to search for. Defaults to `['**/*']`.
- `ignore`: An array of glob patterns to ignore.
- `cwd`: The current working directory in which to search. Defaults to `process.cwd()`.
- `absolute`: Whether to return absolute paths. Defaults to `false`.
- `dot`: Whether to allow entries starting with a dot. Defaults to `false`.
- `deep`: Maximum depth of a directory. Defaults to `Infinity`.
- `followSymbolicLinks`: Whether to traverse and include symbolic links. Defaults to `true`.
- `caseSensitiveMatch`: Whether to match in case-sensitive mode. Defaults to `true`.
- `expandDirectories`: Whether to expand directories. Disable to best match `fast-glob`. Defaults to `true`.
- `onlyDirectories`: Enable to only return directories. Disables `onlyFiles` if set. Defaults to `false`.
- `onlyFiles`: Enable to only return files. Defaults to `true`.
