RegExpFromString
Creates RegExp from a string, e.g. '/string/gi' and provides some utils to work with RegExp as strings, for example, to extract multi RegExps defined within a same string, e.g. '/Rock/, /and/, /roll/i'.
Out of the box support for Node.js and Browsers
Installation
npm install regexp-from-stringTo use it on a Browser, without a build system, just include the file lib/regexp-from-string.js
Usage
Creating a RegExp
RegExpFromString();
const RegExpFromString = ; const regExp = ;// `regExp` is the same as RegExp(/Rock/ig);Finding many RegExps at a String
RegExpFromString.findAll();
const RegExpFromString = ; const regExps = RegExpFromString;// `regExps` will be the array [/Rock/, /and|n/i, /Roll$/g]// Each value is a RegExp Object // See how a specific delimiter is not needed// So you can use anything that fits better for your case// Any of the following will produces the same result as the example aboveRegExpFromString;RegExpFromString;RegExpFromString;Get all the matches for the many RegExps found at a String
RegExpFromString.matchAll();
// It behaves like findAll, but in this case// it will return an Array with all the RegExp `match` instead of the RegExp itselfconst RegExpFromString = ; const regExps = RegExpFromString;// regExps will be: '/Rock/i' 'Rock' 'i' index: 0 input: '/Rock/i,/and|n/i,/Roll$/g' '/and|n/i' 'and|n' 'i' index: 8 input: '/Rock/i,/and|n/i,/Roll$/g' '/Roll$/g' 'Roll$' 'g' index: 17 input: '/Rock/i,/and|n/i,/Roll$/g'
