Package Exports
- regexp-match-indices
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 (regexp-match-indices) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
regexp-match-indices
This package provides a polyfill/shim for the RegExp Match Indices proposal.
The implementation is a replacement for RegExp.prototype.exec that approximates the beahvior of the proposal. Because RegExp.prototype.exec depends on a receiver (the this value), the main export accepts the RegExp to operate on as the first argument.
Installation
npm install regexp-match-indicesUsage
Standalone
const execWithIndices = require("regexp-match-indices");
const text = "zabbcdef";
const re = new RegExp("ab*(cd(?<Z>ef)?)");
const result = execWithIndices(re, text);
console.log(result.indices); // [[1, 8], [4, 8], [6, 8]]Shim
require("regexp-match-indices").shim();
// or
require("regexp-match-indices/shim")();
// or
require("regexp-match-indices/auto");
const text = "zabbcdef";
const re = new RegExp("ab*(cd(?<Z>ef)?)");
const result = re.exec(re, text);
console.log(result.indices); // [[1, 8], [4, 8], [6, 8]]Configuration
The polyfill can be run in two modes: "lazy" (default) or "spec-compliant". In "spec-compliant" mode, the indices property is populated and stored on the result as soon as exec() is called. This can have a significant performance penalty for existing RegExp's that do not use this feature. By default, the polyfill operates in "lazy" mode, where the indices property is defined using a getter and is only computed when first requested.
You can specify the configuration globally using the following:
require("regexp-match-indices").config.mode = "spec-compliant"; // or "lazy"
// or
require("regexp-match-indices/config").mode = "spec-compliant"; // or "lazy"
