Package Exports

hashtag-regex
hashtag-regex/index.js

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

Readme

hashtag-regex

hashtag-regex offers a regular expression to match hashtag identifiers as per the Unicode Standard.

This repository contains a script that generates this regular expression based on the Unicode data. Because of this, the regular expression can easily be updated whenever the Unicode Standard changes.

Installation

Via npm:

npm install hashtag-regex

In Node.js:

const hashtagRegex = require('hashtag-regex');
// Note: because the regular expression has the global flag set, this module
// exports a function that returns the regex rather than exporting the regular
// expression itself, to make it impossible to (accidentally) mutate the
// original regular expression.

const text = `
#hashtag
#©
＃🤷🏿‍♀️ (\uFF03\u{1F937}\u{1F3FF}\u200D\u2640\uFE0F)
`;

const regex = hashtagRegex();
let match;
while (match = regex.exec(text)) {
  const hashtag = match[0];
  console.log(`Matched sequence ${ hashtag } — code points: ${ [...hashtag].length }`);
}

Console output:

Matched sequence #hashtag — code points: 8
Matched sequence #© — code points: 2
Matched sequence ＃🤷🏿‍♀️ — code points: 6
Matched sequence ＃🤷🏿‍♀️ — code points: 6
