Skywalker is a package to allow one to concurrently go through a filesystem with ease.
- Concurrency
- BlackList filtering
- WhiteList filtering
- Filter by Directory
- Filter by Extension
- Glob Filtering (provided by gobwas/glob)
For matching to work properly across platforms. Please use
/
. In gobwas/glob the\
is an escape character (so you can escape*
,?
, etc...) making it difficult to know if you want to escape a character or go into directory.
