• require Node.js 8 or newer.

📖 Usage

import {
    AST,
    RegExpParser,
    RegExpValidator,
    RegExpVisitor,
    parseRegExpLiteral,
    validateRegExpLiteral,
    visitRegExpAST
} from "regexpp"

parseRegExpLiteral(source, options?)

Parse a given regular expression literal then make AST object.

This is equivalent to new RegExpParser(options).parseLiteral(source).

• Parameters:

  • source (string | RegExp) The source code to parse.

  • options? (RegExpParser.Options) The options to parse.
• Return:

  • The AST of the regular expression.

validateRegExpLiteral(source, options?)

Validate a given regular expression literal.

This is equivalent to new RegExpValidator(options).validateLiteral(source).

• Parameters:

  • source (string) The source code to validate.

  • options? (RegExpValidator.Options) The options to validate.

visitRegExpAST(ast, handlers)

Visit each node of a given AST.

This is equivalent to new RegExpVisitor(handlers).visit(ast).

• Parameters:

  • ast (AST.Node) The AST to visit.
  • handlers (RegExpVisitor.Handlers) The callbacks.

RegExpParser

new RegExpParser(options?)

• Parameters:

  • options? (RegExpParser.Options) The options to parse.

parser.parseLiteral(source, start?, end?)

Parse a regular expression literal.

• Parameters:

  • source (string) The source code to parse. E.g. "/abc/g".

  • start? (number) The start index in the source code. Default is 0.

  • end? (number) The end index in the source code. Default is source.length.

• Return:

  • The AST of the regular expression.

parser.parsePattern(source, start?, end?, uFlag?)

Parse a regular expression pattern.

• Parameters:

  • source (string) The source code to parse. E.g. "abc".

  • start? (number) The start index in the source code. Default is 0.

  • end? (number) The end index in the source code. Default is source.length.

  • uFlag? (boolean) The flag to enable Unicode mode.

• Return:

  • The AST of the regular expression pattern.

parser.parseFlags(source, start?, end?)

Parse a regular expression flags.

• Parameters:

  • source (string) The source code to parse. E.g. "gim".

  • start? (number) The start index in the source code. Default is 0.

  • end? (number) The end index in the source code. Default is source.length.

• Return:

  • The AST of the regular expression flags.

RegExpValidator

new RegExpValidator(options)

• Parameters:

  • options (RegExpValidator.Options) The options to validate.

validator.validateLiteral(source, start, end)

Validate a regular expression literal.

• Parameters:

  • source (string) The source code to validate.

  • end? (number) The end index in the source code. Default is source.length.

validator.validatePattern(source, start, end, uFlag)

Validate a regular expression pattern.

• Parameters:

  • source (string) The source code to validate.

  • start? (number) The start index in the source code. Default is 0.

  • end? (number) The end index in the source code. Default is source.length.

  • uFlag? (boolean) The flag to enable Unicode mode.

validator.validateFlags(source, start, end)

Validate a regular expression flags.

• Parameters:

  • source (string) The source code to validate.
