make glob as an optional dependency

[jimmywarting]

Glob make up for 149kB for the total of 165kB install size.
Which I think is pretty much.

Often you know what folder/file you would like to delete so any magical pattern is not always necessary.
rimraf is more then what I'm asking for. All I want is to remove a folder recursive.

Thinking this statement isn't really true:

The UNIX command rm -rf for node.

rm is not able to delete a pattern of files? it's more like a find & remove

find ./ -name ".orig" -exec rm -rf {} \;

Sometimes you have to consider your option if a such large dependency is really necessary and perhaps just inline some code yourself or try to find a other package.

const fs = require('fs')
const afs = fs.promises;

async function deleteFolderRecursive(path) {
  if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
    for (let entry of await afs.readdir(path)) {
      (await afs.lstat(fs.join(path, entry))).isDirectory()
        ? await deleteFolderRecursive(curPath)
        : await afs.unlink(curPath)
    }
    await afs.rmdir(path)
  }
}

Even better: glob removed in v4.

Or even better (now that nodejs supports rm recursive natively from v14) fsPromises.rm(path, { recursive: true })
