NPM version CI

XML Schema Regular Expression engine

This library is a complete implementation of an engine for the regular expression language defined in XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1. It follows the XML Schema 1.1 specification, which corrects some errors in earlier versions but should be considered fully compatible with XML Schema 1.0.

For Unicode-related functionality, this implementation follows Unicode version 15.0.0. For compatibility with XML Schema 1.0, Unicode block names that existed in Unicode 3.1.0 are accepted as aliases for their current counterparts in \p{Is...} and \P{Is...} expressions.

Installation

The xspattern library can be installed using npm or yarn:

npm install --save xspattern

or

yarn add xspattern

The package includes both a UMD bundle (dist/xspattern.umd.js), compatible with Node.js, and an ES6 module (dist/xspattern.esm.js). The whynot library is used as a dependency, but is not included in the bundles. It should be automatically installed and included in most configurations.

Usage

The library currently exports a single function compile, which expects a string containing a single pattern and returns a function. This function accepts a single string representing a value to test and returns a boolean indicating whether the value matches the pattern.

// for ES6 / Typescript:
import { compile } from 'xspattern';
// or for CommonJS / Node.js:
const { compile } = require('xspattern');

// This pattern matches sequences of one or more lower case consonants
const matchesPattern = compile('[a-z-[aeoui]]+');
console.log(matchesPattern('asdfgh')); // false
console.log(matchesPattern('zxcvbn')); // true
