#
Create a javascript regular expression for matching everything except for the given string.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install#
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save regex-notUsage#
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.create#
Returns a string to allow you to create your own regex:
console.log(not.create('foo'));
//=> '(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+'Options#
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})); //=> falseAbout#
