My proposal is suitable for this project

• I believe my proposal would be useful to the broader TypeScript community (meaning it is not a niche proposal).

Description

Previously, typescript-eslint switched fromglob toglobby fortsconfig.json file searching:#2418

Under the hood,globby is powered byfast-glob with extra features, but none of them are utilized by thetypescript-eslint.

Since thetypescript-eslint doesn't utilize those extra features, I propose replacingglobby withfast-glob to reduce the installation size.

Additional Info

The installation size difference

The installation size ofglobby is 605 KiB and 23 transitive dependencies are introduced, whilethe installation size offast-glob is 503 KiB and 18 transitive dependencies are introduced.

Proof of Concept

I've tested the proposal in my fork:SukkaW@0cec339 and all existing test cases are passed on my machine.

globby's extra features

Here is globby's feature description:

• Promise API
  • fast-glob also has promise-based API, andtypescript-eslint only uses the sync API
• Multiple patterns
  • globby's multiple patterns support is powered byfast-glob directly
• Negated patterns:['foo*', '!foobar']
  • globby's negated patterns support is also powered byfast-glob directly
• Expands directories:foo → foo/**/*
  • typescript-eslint doesn't rely on this feature since the exact matches oftsconfig.json (-like) files are required
• Supports.gitignore and similar ignore config files
  • typescript-eslint doesn't rely on this feature sinceglobby disabled this feature by default andtypescript-eslint doesn't enable it.
• Supports URL ascwd
  • Currentlytypescript-eslint passed the string path tocwd, and we can use Node.js built-inurl.fileURLToPath in case we encounter URLs in the future.
