Pattern Module

Pattern matching library that compiles string patterns to regular expressions.

Supports the following types of operation:

• GLOB: redis style glob match.
• REGEXP: Javascript regular expression match.

The caveat is that when specifiying patterns with escape sequences (literal character match), unlike redis two backslashes are required as it is not possible to correctly get a single backslash in a javascript string due to it being treated as a string escape character.

Component of the jsr library.

Requires node and npm.

Install

npm i jsr-pattern

API

Glob style:

var Pattern = require('jsr-pattern')
  , ptn = new Pattern();
console.log(ptn.filter('*o*', ['one', 'two', 'three']));

Regular expression style:

var Pattern = require('jsr-pattern')
  , ptn = new Pattern(Pattern.REGEXP);
console.log(ptn.filter('.*o.*', ['one', 'two', 'three']));
