Returns true if the given string looks like a glob pattern or an extglob pattern. This makes it easy to create code that only uses external modules like node-glob when necessary, resulting in much faster code execution and initialization time, and a better user experience.

Arrays are also false (If you want to check if an array has a glob pattern, use has-glob):
isGlob(['**/*.js']);isGlob(['foo.js']);//=> false
Option strict
When options.strict === false the behavior is less strict in determining if a pattern is a glob. Meaning that some patterns that would return false may return true. This is done so that matching libraries like micromatch have a chance at determining if the pattern is a glob or not.
True
Patterns that have glob characters or regex patterns will return true:
