Package Exports

@stdlib/regexp-dirname

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/regexp-dirname) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Dirname

Regular expression to capture a path dirname.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/regexp-dirname

Usage

var reDirname = require( '@stdlib/regexp-dirname' );

reDirname( [platform] )

Returns a regular expression to capture a path dirname.

var RE = reDirname();
// returns <RegExp>

RE = reDirname( 'posix' );
// returns <RegExp>

var dir = RE.exec( '/foo/bar/index.js' )[ 1 ];
// returns '/foo/bar'

RE = reDirname( 'win32' );
// returns <RegExp>

dir = RE.exec( 'C:\\foo\\bar\\index.js' )[ 1 ];
// returns 'C:\\foo\\bar'

reBasename.REGEXP

Regular expression to capture a path dirname.

var bool = ( reDirname.REGEXP.toString() === reDirname().toString() );
// returns true

reDirname.REGEXP_POSIX

Regular expression to capture a POSIX path dirname.

var dir = reDirname.REGEXP_POSIX.exec( '/foo/bar/index.js' )[ 1 ];
// returns '/foo/bar'

reDirname.REGEXP_WIN32

Regular expression to capture a Windows path dirname.

var dir = reDirname.REGEXP_WIN32.exec( 'C:\\foo\\bar\\index.js' )[ 1 ];
// returns 'C:\\foo\\bar'

Notes

The as REGEXP exported regular expression is platform-dependent. If the current process is running on Windows, REGEXP === REGEXP_WIN32; otherwise, REGEXP === REGEXP_POSIX.

Examples

var reDirname = require( '@stdlib/regexp-dirname' );
var RE_DIRNAME = reDirname();
var dir;

// Assuming a POSIX platform...
dir = RE_DIRNAME.exec( '/foo/bar/index.js' )[ 1 ];
// returns '/foo/bar'

dir = reDirname.REGEXP_POSIX.exec( '/foo/bar/home.html' )[ 1 ];
// returns '/foo/bar'

dir = reDirname.REGEXP_WIN32.exec( 'C:\\foo\\bar\\home.html' )[ 1 ];
// returns 'C:\\foo\\bar'
