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

Returns a regex-compatible range from two numbers, min and max, with 855,412 generated unit tests to validate it's accuracy! Useful for creating regular expressions to validate numbers, ranges, years, etc. Returns a string, allowing the returned value to be used in regular expressions generated by other libraries.
Install
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save to-regex-range
Bower
Install with bower
$ bower install to-regex-range --save
Notes
Inspired by the python lib range-regex, it has never been easier to validate numbers and number ranges with regex!
The unit tests generate 850,000 patterns to provide brute-force validation that the generated regex-ranges are correct.
Usage
var toRegexRange = require('to-regex-range');
var re = new RegExp(toRegexRange('1', '99'));
re.test('50');
//=> true
Examples
toRegexRange('111', '555');
//=> '11[1-9]|1[2-9]\d|[2-4]\d{2}|5[0-4]\d|55[0-5]'
toRegexRange('5', '5');
//=> '5'
toRegexRange('5', '6');
//=> '[5-6]'
toRegexRange('51', '229');
//=> '5[1-9]|[6-9]\d|1\d{2}|2[0-2]\d'
When the min
is larger than the max
, a regex logical or
is returned:
toRegexRange('51', '29');
//=> '51|29'
Currently this does not support steps (increments) or zero-padding.
