Package Exports

functional-regex

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 (functional-regex) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Functional Regex

Functional Regex simplifies the way you work with global regular expressions in JavaScript.

When looking for something like /foo(test)/g it's necessary to do:

var regex = /foo(test)/g,
    result;

while ((result = regex.exec(test)) !== null) {
  // do something with result
};

Wouldn't it be nice if we could do something more like:

var regex = /foo(test)/g;

regex.forEach(function(result) {
    // do something with result.
});

And even map over the matches:

var regex = /src="([^"]*"/g;

var scripts = regex.map(function(result) {
  return result[1];
});

Installation

npm install --save functional-regex

Usage

There are two ways to use Functional Regex.

Standalone (default, because extending native prototypes is evil)
Augmenting the RegExp prototype

1. Standalone

var fregex = require('functional-regex');

fregex.forEach(regex, text, iteratorFn);
fregex.map(regex, text, iteratorFn);

2. RegExp prototype

require('functional-regex').addToRegExp();

var regex = /foo/g;

regex.forEach(text, iteratorFn);
regex.map(text, iteratorFn);
