Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save to-regex

Usage

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))).)*)$/

Options

options.contains

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)/

options.negate

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)$).)*)$/

options.nocase

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.

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

options.cache

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});

options.safe

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});
