const minimatch = require("minimatch");

// Use braceExpand to expand a brace expression.
const braceExpansion = minimatch.braceExpand("{apple,banana,pear} fruit");
console.log(braceExpansion);

In this example, we import the minimatch library and use the brackExpand() method to expand the brace expression {apple,banana,pear} fruit into an array of strings: ['apple fruit', 'banana fruit', 'pear fruit']. The result is then logged to the console.
