[ { type: 'quantified',
offset: 0,
text: '[a-z]+',
body:
{ type: 'charset',
offset: 0,
text: '[a-z]',
invert: false,
body:
[ { type: 'range',
offset: 1,
text: 'a-z',
start: 'a',
end: 'z' } ] },
quantifier:
{ type: 'quantifier',
offset: 5,
text: '+',
min: 1,
max: Infinity,
greedy: true } } ] })
To run tests:
$ npm install
$ npm test

which is compiled using pegjs and src/index.js
which is a CommonJS module with a special additional pseudo import
