Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
(TOC generated by verb using markdown-toc)
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save to-regex
var toRegex = require('to-regex');
console.log(toRegex('foo'));
//=> /^(?:foo)$/
console.log(toRegex('foo', {negate: true}));
//=> /^(?:(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)*)$/
console.log(toRegex('foo', {contains: true}));
//=> /(?:foo)/
console.log(toRegex(['foo', 'bar'], {negate: true}));
//=> /^(?:(?:(?!^(?:(?:foo)|(?:bar))$).)*)$/
console.log(toRegex(['foo', 'bar'], {negate: true, contains: true}));
//=> /^(?:(?:(?!(?:(?:foo)|(?:bar))).)*)$/
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
Generate a regex that will match any string that contains the given pattern. By default, regex is strict will only return true for exact matches.
var toRegex = require('to-regex');
console.log(toRegex('foo', {contains: true}));
//=> /(?:foo)/
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
Create a regex that will match everything except the given pattern.
var toRegex = require('to-regex');
console.log(toRegex('foo', {negate: true}));
//=> /^(?:(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)*)$/
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
Adds the i
flag, to enable case-insensitive matching.
var toRegex = require('to-regex');
console.log(toRegex('foo', {nocase: true}));
//=> /^(?:foo)$/i
Alternatively you can pass the flags you want directly on options.flags.
Type: String
Default: undefined
Define the flags you want to use on the generated regex.
var toRegex = require('to-regex');
console.log(toRegex('foo', {flags: 'gm'}));
//=> /^(?:foo)$/gm
console.log(toRegex('foo', {flags: 'gmi', nocase: true})); //<= handles redundancy
//=> /^(?:foo)$/gmi
Type: Boolean
Default: true
Generated regex is cached based on the provided string and options. As a result, runtime compilation only happens once per pattern (as long as options are also the same), which can result in dramatic speed improvements.
This also helps with debugging, since adding options and pattern are added to the generated regex.
Disable caching
toRegex('foo', {cache: false});
Type: Boolean
Default: undefined
Check the generated regular expression with safe-regex and throw an error if the regex is potentially unsafe.
Examples
console.log(toRegex('(x+x+)+y'));
//=> /^(?:(x+x+)+y)$/
// The following would throw an error
toRegex('(x+x+)+y', {safe: true});
