The string value to converted.
Optional
ignoreCase: booleanFlag to indicate whether the regular expression should be case-sensitive, Defaults to false.
Optional
fullMatch: booleanFlag to identify whether the RegExp should be wrapped with '^'
and '$'
to
incidate match the entire string only.
The new Regular Expression created from the provided value.
let regex = makeGlobRegex("src\\**\\*.ts");
let matches = regex.exec("Hello");
matches; // null
let matches = regex.exec("Src/index.ts");
matches; // null - Specify the ignoreCase if you want this to match
let matches = regex.exec("src/index.ts");
matches[0]; // "src/index.ts"
matches[1]; // undefined;
matches[2]; // "index"
let matches = regex.exec("src\\index.ts");
matches[0]; // "src\\index.ts"
matches[1]; // undefined;
matches[2]; // "index"
let matches = regex.exec("src/helpers/regexp.ts");
matches[0]; // "src/helpers/regexp.ts"
matches[1]; // "helpers/"
matches[2]; // "regexp"
let matches = regex.exec("src\\helpers/regexp.ts");
matches[0]; // "src\\helpers/regexp.ts"
matches[1]; // "helpers/"
matches[2]; // "regexp"
let matches = regex.exec(" src/index.tsx ");
matches[0]; // "src/index.ts"
matches[1]; // undefined
matches[2]; // "index"
let matches = regex.exec(" src/helpers/regexp.ts. ");
matches[0]; // "src/helpers/regexp.ts"
matches[1]; // "helpers/"
matches[2]; // "regexp"]);
Create a simple glob style regular expression from the string value, converting
'**'
,'*'
and'?'
characters. Unlike createFilenameRegex the'*'
and'?'
will NOT match folder seperator characters'/'
and'\'
. If the source string contains folder seperators both'/'
and'\'
are treated as synonomous Each wildcard match will be captured as it's own group. The supported matching values are'**'
Matches any characters zero or more times include folder seperators'/'
or'\'
'*'
Matches any characters zero or more times, except'/'
or'\'
'?'
Matches any single character once only, except'/'
or'\'
'/'
Matches either'/'
or'\'
character, not captured as a group'\'
Matches either'/'
