node.js glob pattern for excluding multiple files

Question

I\'m using the npm module node-glob.

This snippet returns recursively all files in the current working directory.

var glob = require(\'glob\');
glob(

Here is what I wrote for my project:

var glob = require('glob');
var minimatch = require("minimatch");

function globArray(patterns, options) {
  var i, list = [];
  if (!Array.isArray(patterns)) {
    patterns = [patterns];
  }

  patterns.forEach(function (pattern) {
    if (pattern[0] === "!") {
      i = list.length-1;
      while( i > -1) {
        if (!minimatch(list[i], pattern)) {
          list.splice(i,1);
        }
        i--;
      }

    }
    else {
      var newList = glob.sync(pattern, options);
      newList.forEach(function(item){
        if (list.indexOf(item)===-1) {
          list.push(item);
        }
      });
    }
  });

  return list;
}

And call it like this (Using an array):

var paths = globArray(["**/*.css","**/*.js","!**/one.js"], {cwd: srcPath});

or this (Using a single string):

var paths = globArray("**/*.js", {cwd: srcPath});
