Implementation

Glob Filter Widget

We search for the github toolbar with all the widgets and append our widget in there. From there, you can enter a glob pattern string and when you press Run filter, we'll collapse any opened files that does not matches the glob pattern.

Glob pattern matching

This extension uses minimatch to perform the glob matching. Because minimatch is a node package and uses cjs. We need to use a bundler to generate an esm, since browsers can only use esm. So I chose browserify.

Regex pattern matching

This extension uses the native Javascript RegExp to perform regular expression searches.
