What does "**/*" in app.json or package.json mean?

Question

I'm building a React Native app using Expo. In my app.json there as a key:

"assetBundlePatterns": ["**/*"],

I know this key expects a file path as its value. But what does "**/*" mean? I have my assets/ folder an the same level as app.json and in it there are three folders called animations/, images/ and fonts/. Will they be covered by that value?

Answer 1

Usual this **/* means all folders and all sub folders are consider by some script.
