 "import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": false, "optionalDependencies": false, "peerDependencies": false}]
 ```
 
+You can also use an array of globs instead of literal booleans:
+
+```js
+"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": ['*.test.js', '*.spec.js']}]
+```
+
+When using an array of globs, the setting will be activated if the name of the file being linted matches a single glob in the array.
