Regular expressions for various Unicode character classes extracted from XRegExp
Various regular expressions for unicode character classes (letter, punctuation, number, etc.) and helper functions for composing them.
Used by the purify library.
The module exports a bunch of useful RegExps each with a single character class in them:
lettermarknumberpunctuationsymbolseparatorothervisibleprintableunicodeRegExp.visible.test("a"); // true
unicodeRegExp.visible.test(" "); // false
unicodeRegExp.visible.test("\u00a0"); // false -- a non-breaking space is not visible
To validate an entire string you need to build a new RegExp:
var visibleStringRegExp = new RegExp('^' + unicodeRegExp.visible.source + '*$');
visibleStringRegExp.test("foobar"); // true
visibleStringRegExp.test("foo bar"); // false because of the space
unicodeRegExp.removeCharacterFromCharacterClassRegExp(/[æøå]/, 'æ'); // /[\u00f8\u00e5]/
unicodeRegExp.spliceCharacterClassRegExps(/[a-b]/, /[c-d]/); // /[a-bc-d]/
The info about which characters belong to which classes was taken from the XRegExp library and its Unicode plugin.
