# Wild

![Build Status](https://github.com/TylerPachal/wild/workflows/Elixir%20CI/badge.svg)
![Hex.pm version](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/wild.svg)

Wild is a wildcard matching library that mimics unix-style pattern matching
functionality in Elixir; it does not interact with the file system.  It works
on all binary input and defaults to working with codepoint representations of
binaries, but other modes are also available.

## Installation

Add the `:wild` dependency to your `mix.exs` file:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:wild, "~> 1.0.0-rc.4"}
  ]
end
```

## Example Usage

```elixir
# Simple match
iex> Wild.match?("foobar", "foo*")
true

# Simple non-match
iex> Wild.match?("foobar", "bar*")
false

# Classes are supported
iex> Wild.match?("foobar", "fo[a-z]bar")
true

# Non-printable binaries can be matched in byte mode
iex> Wild.match?(<<16, 196, 130, 4>>, "????", mode: :byte)
true

# Check validity of pattern
iex> Wild.valid_pattern?("fo[a-z]b?r")
true
```
