calmcard
not-so-wild wildcard string matching
Calmcard provides a simple string pattern matching with *
as the only special character which is a placeholder for
any sequence of characters, unless it is escaped.
Calmcard was made to have a glob
like tool for arbitrary strings where slashes have no special meaning. It also does
explicitly not use regular expressions because of speed, proper escaping and because writing regular expression strings
in JavaScript gets messy and unreadable very quick.
Examples
foo*bar
will match "foo123bar"foo\*bar
will match "foo*bar" but not "foo123bar"
Installation
Currently, calmcard is built for node.js and available via NPM.
npm install calmcard
Usage
var calmcard = require("calmcard");
calmcard("foo*bar", "foo123bar");
calmcard("foo*bar", "foobar");
