twitter-regexps

Twitter precompiled regular expressions

Some regular expressions extracted from twitter-text package and optimized with regexp-tree.

The reason I create this package is the twitter-text original package size (about 2Mb) and amount of work compiler and processor needs to do just to use it (all regexps are compiling at runtime). Here in my package with compiled regexps, so you can use only regexps you need.

Packages used:

• twitter-text@3.1.0
• twemoji-parser@14.0.0

Current list of regular expressions

• url
• cashtag
• hashtag
• mention
• emoji
• hashsign
• atsign
