# require\_glob

`require_glob()` recursively loads `.js` files that match a glob (wildcard). The recursion can be disabled.

Possible parameters are:

* Path as string, where you would like to start including files. Mandatory. Pattern matching possible, see [GoLand path/filepath/#Match docs](https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#Match).
* If being recursive. This is a boolean if the search should be recursive or not. Define either `true` or `false`. Default is `true`.

Example to load `.js` files recursively:

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

```javascript
require_glob("./domains/");
```

{% endcode %}

Example to load `.js` files only in `domains/`:

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

```javascript
require_glob("./domains/", false);
```

{% endcode %}

## Comparison to require()

`require_glob()` and `require()` both use the same rules for determining which directory path is relative to.

This will load files being present underneath `./domains/user1/` and **NOT** at below `./domains/`, as `require_glob()` is called in the subfolder `domains/`.

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

```javascript
require("domains/index.js");
```

{% endcode %}

{% code title="domains/index.js" %}

```javascript
require_glob("./user1/");
```

{% endcode %}
