Recursive File Matching #234

Closed niklas-wortmann closed 6 years ago

niklas-wortmann commented 6 years ago

Subject of the issue

The RxJS Docs make use of a nested folder structure, to handle multiple files in a structured way. E.g.

For now it seems like Alex just uses the root folder for linting. I'm not sure if there is already a recursive option in the cli or a support for folder "wildcards" like alex content/**/*.md. If not I would like to add one of those two options.

Your environment

Thanks for the issue @JWO719! Luckily globs are already supported! 😉

niklas-wortmann commented 6 years ago

Ok thanks for pointing that out, but I'm still slightly confuse, because the example above alex content/**/*.md in my case just lints the first folder inside the content folder. It neither checks the content folder itself, nor deeper levels e.g. 'content/guide/v6'. Am I doing something wrong? :D

wooorm commented 6 years ago

Could you try quoting the glob (alex "content/**/*.md")? There’s differences in glob support on different platforms (mostly windows is weird).

Yeah it is a linux based system but yeah quotes fixed it :D thanks a lot!
