The main export is a function that takes a string an options object.
not(string[, options]);
Example
var not =require('regex-not');console.log(not('foo'));//=> /^(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+$/
Strict matching
By default, the returned regex is for strictly (not) matching the exact given pattern (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT exactly equalfoo"):
var re =not('foo');console.log(re.test('foo')); //=> falseconsole.log(re.test('bar')); //=> trueconsole.log(re.test('foobar')); //=> trueconsole.log(re.test('barfoo')); //=> true
.create
Returns a string to allow you to create your own regex:
You can relax strict matching by setting options.contains to true (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT containfoo"):
var re =not('foo');console.log(re.test('foo', {contains:true})); //=> falseconsole.log(re.test('bar', {contains:true})); //=> trueconsole.log(re.test('foobar', {contains:true})); //=> falseconsole.log(re.test('barfoo', {contains:true})); //=> false
