Create a javascript regular expression for matching everything except for the given string.
The regex-not npm package is designed to create regular expressions for matching everything except a specified pattern. This can be particularly useful when you need to exclude certain patterns from your matches.
Basic Negation
This feature allows you to create a regular expression that matches any string except the specified pattern. In this example, the pattern 'foo' is excluded from the matches.
const not = require('regex-not');
const re = not('foo');
console.log(re); // => /^(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+$/
Negation with Flags
This feature allows you to add flags to the negated regular expression. In this example, the global flag 'g' is added to the pattern that excludes 'foo'.
const not = require('regex-not');
const re = not('foo', { flags: 'g' });
console.log(re); // => /^(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+$/g
Negation with Custom Delimiters
This feature allows you to specify custom delimiters for the negated pattern. In this example, the delimiters '<' and '>' are used around the pattern 'foo'.
const not = require('regex-not');
const re = not('foo', { delimiters: ['<', '>'] });
console.log(re); // => /^(?:(?!<foo>).)+$/
The 'negate' package provides similar functionality by allowing you to create a negated version of a given regular expression. It is simpler and more focused on negation without additional customization options like flags or delimiters.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save regex-not
var not = require('regex-not');
The main export is a function that takes a string an options object.
not(string[, options]);
Example
var not = require('regex-not');
console.log(not('foo'));
//=> /^(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+$/
Strict matching
By default, the returned regex is for strictly (not) matching the exact given pattern (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT exactly equal foo
"):
var re = not('foo');
console.log(re.test('foo')); //=> false
console.log(re.test('bar')); //=> true
console.log(re.test('foobar')); //=> true
console.log(re.test('barfoo')); //=> true
Returns a string to allow you to create your own regex:
console.log(not.create('foo'));
//=> '(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+'
options.contains
You can relax strict matching by setting options.contains
to true (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT contain foo
"):
var re = not('foo');
console.log(re.test('foo', {contains: true})); //=> false
console.log(re.test('bar', {contains: true})); //=> true
console.log(re.test('foobar', {contains: true})); //=> false
console.log(re.test('barfoo', {contains: true})); //=> false
