Why
This PR implements anyMatchAsync with fast-glob to leverage its lighter, faster capabilities as a replacement for glob. The expected outcome is improved time efficiency in file searching.
Previously, the reliance on everyMatchAsync was due to glob's lack of support for an abort controller, resulting in prolonged search times for files matching a pattern. fast-glob introduces a stream() method enabling early return upon finding the first matched file, thereby optimizing the search process.
How
The transition to fast-glob was motivated by the need for a more efficient file search mechanism. By replacing glob with fast-glob, we utilize its streamlined file pattern matching and early return capabilities, significantly improving search performance and code maintainability.
This is my first pull request 🙇🏻♂️. I intend to add a performance comparison between the before and after states. Could you offer some guidance on how to proceed?
Test Plan
There is a test, and manual test
