simple_regex_search

simple_regex_search

A very light-weight and simple NodeJS module to build regex search query .

Usage

Download the module or install using npm npm install --save simple_regex_search

The module exposes a function that takes two parameters , search phrase and combined. the search phrase must be a single string or an array of the search phrases , the combined is a boolean that specify if the regex search must meet all the words or any.

If the combined flag is true , all returned regex would require all search phrases to exist for the regex search to return true.

The default value of the combined flag is false.

Example

let search = require('simple_regex_search');

Single phrase | String

would return the regex syntax /^(?=.\btest\b).$/

let example = search('test', true);

would return true

example('test');

would return false

example('something else');

Many Phrases | Array

would return the regex syntax /^(?=.\bvalueA\b)(?=.\bvalueB\b).*$/

let example2 = search(['valueA', 'valueB'], true);

would return false

example2('test');

would return true

example2('The order of ValueB and ValueA is not important');
