# regex-repo ![coverage: 100%](./.readme-assets/coverage.svg) [![Unit tests](https://github.com/liquid-labs/regex-repo/actions/workflows/unit-tests-node.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/liquid-labs/regex-repo/actions/workflows/unit-tests-node.yaml) A a collection of useful regular expressions. Refer to the [regex reference](#regex-reference) below for a list of the provided REs. ## Installation ```bash npm i @liquid-labs/regex-repo ``` Supports both CJS and ESM packages. ## Usage ```javascript import { emailRe } from '@liquid-labs/regex-repo' // ES6 // const { emailRe } = require('@liquid-labs/regex-repo') // cjs const verified = emailRe.test(userInput) ``` ## Regex reference Each regular expression listed below is paired with an embeddable string named `xxxString`. E.g., `rgbRe` is paired with `rgbReString` (special cases noted). Each Re will only match strings that are the given type and nothing else. I.e., the RE begins with '^' and ends with '$'. The `xxxReString` can be used for partial matches, `matchAll`s, and used as part of larger expressions. E.g., to find all unique CSS RGB colors used in a style sheet, you might do something like: ```javascript import { rgbReString } from '@liquid-labs/regex-repo' const allColors = cssContent .matchAll(new RegExp(`[ :](${rgbReString})[; }]`, 'g')) .map((match) => match[1]) // extract the capture group .filter((v, i, arr) => i === arr.indexOf(v)) // filter non-unique items .sort() ``` _API generated with [dmd-readme-api](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dmd-readme-api)._ - Constants: - _AWS_ - [`awsS3BucketNameRe`](#awsS3BucketNameRe): Matches (most) valid S3 bucket name. - [`awsS3BucketNameReString`](#awsS3BucketNameReString): An RE ready string that matches (most) valid S3 bucket names. - [`awsS3TaBucketNameRe`](#awsS3TaBucketNameRe): Matches (most) S3 Transfer Acceleration compatible S3 bucket name. - [`awsS3TaBucketNameReString`](#awsS3TaBucketNameReString): An RE ready string that matches (most) valid S3 Transfer Acceleration compatible bucket names. - [`invalidS3TaBucketNameReString`](#invalidS3TaBucketNameReString): An RE ready string that matches excluded S3 Transfer Acceleration compatible bucket names that would be matched by `awsS3TaBucketNameReString`. - _Contacts_ - [`emailRe`](#emailRe): Match most valid emails. - [`usPhoneRe`](#usPhoneRe): Matches US phone numbers with optional country code and area code. - [`zipCodeRe`](#zipCodeRe): Matches 5 or 9 digit US zip codes. - _CSS_ - [`cssColor3Re`](#cssColor3Re): Matches CSS3 'hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, and predefined colors. - [`cssColorRe`](#cssColorRe): Matches CSS4 'hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, and predefined colors. - [`cssPreColors1Re`](#cssPreColors1Re): Matches CSS1 predefined color names. - [`cssPreColors2Re`](#cssPreColors2Re): Matches CSS2 predefined color names. - [`cssPreColors3Re`](#cssPreColors3Re): Matches CSS3 predefined color names. - [`cssPreColorsRe`](#cssPreColorsRe): Matches CSS4 predefined color names. - [`hexColorAlphaRe`](#hexColorAlphaRe): Matches hex specified RGBA colors with an alpha channel. - [`hexColorNoAlphaRe`](#hexColorNoAlphaRe): Matches hex specified RGB colors with no alpha channel. - [`hsl3Re`](#hsl3Re): Matches CSS3 'hsl(...) and hsla(...) deg and percent notation. - [`hslRe`](#hslRe): Matches CSS4 'hsl(...) and hsla(...) deg, grad, rad, turn and percent notation. - [`rgbaFuncRe`](#rgbaFuncRe): Matches CSS3 'rgba(...) using '0...255 and percent (integer) notation. - [`rgbFuncRe`](#rgbFuncRe): Matches CSS1 'rgb(...) using '0...255 and percent (integer) notation. - [`rgbRe`](#rgbRe): Matches CSS4 'rgb(...) and rgba(...) functios using '0...255 and percent (float) notation. - _CSS numbers_ - [`zeroTo100FloatPercentRe`](#zeroTo100FloatPercentRe): Matches a 0 to 100% float as used in CSS color specifications. - [`zeroTo100PercentRe`](#zeroTo100PercentRe): Matches a 0 to 100% integer as used in CSS color specifications. - [`zeroTo1FloatRe`](#zeroTo1FloatRe): Matches a 0 to 1 float as used in CSS color specifications. - [`zeroTo255FloatRe`](#zeroTo255FloatRe): Matches a 0 to 255 float as used in CSS color specifications. - [`zeroTo255Re`](#zeroTo255Re): Matches a 0 to 255 integer as used in CSS color specifications. - [`zeroTo360FloatRe`](#zeroTo360FloatRe): Matches a 0 to 360 float as used in CSS color specifications. - [`zeroTo360Re`](#zeroTo360Re): Matches a 0 to 360 integer as used in CSS color specifications. - _Date time_ - [`intlDateRe`](#intlDateRe): Matches an international style 'YYYY/MM/DD' string. - [`iso8601DateRe`](#iso8601DateRe): Matches an [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) date time like '20240101T1212Z. - [`iso8601DateReString`](#iso8601DateReString): Matches the time designation portion of an ISO 8601 date+time. - [`iso8601DateTimeRe`](#iso8601DateTimeRe): Matches an [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) _requiring_ both date and time components. - [`iso8601DayRe`](#iso8601DayRe): An RE ready string that matches the day designation portion of an ISO 8601 date+time. - [`iso8601DayReString`](#iso8601DayReString): An RE ready string that matches the day designation portion of an ISO 8601 date+time. - [`iso8601TimeRe`](#iso8601TimeRe): An RE ready string that matches the time designation portion of an ISO 8601 date+time. - [`militaryTimeRe`](#militaryTimeRe): Matches military time style 'HHMM' string. - [`rfc2822DateRe`](#rfc2822DateRe): Matches an [RFC 2822](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2822#section-3.3) style date like 'Mon, 6 Jan 1992 12:12 UTC'. - [`rfc2822DayRe`](#rfc2822DayRe): Matches the day designation portion of an RFC 2822 date+time. - [`rfc2822TimeRe`](#rfc2822TimeRe): Matches the time designation portion of an RFC 2822 date+time. - [`timeRe`](#timeRe): Matches a twelve hour time designation, requires AM or PM designation. - [`timezoneRe`](#timezoneRe): Matches a general timezone designation;

A tag can, in theory, be anything that cannot be confused with a semver range. Due to the requirements of RE construction, the RE string ends up being useless for partial matches so is *NOT* exported. <a id="floatRe"></a> ### `floatRe` ↱[source code](./src/numbers.js#L50) ⇧[Numbers index](#global-constant-Numbers-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a float in either plan or scientific format. <a id="integerRe"></a> ### `integerRe` ↱[source code](./src/numbers.js#L26) ⇧[Numbers index](#global-constant-Numbers-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches an integer. <a id="plainFloatRe"></a> ### `plainFloatRe` ↱[source code](./src/numbers.js#L34) ⇧[Numbers index](#global-constant-Numbers-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a plain (non-scientific notation) float. <a id="scientificFloatRe"></a> ### `scientificFloatRe` ↱[source code](./src/numbers.js#L42) ⇧[Numbers index](#global-constant-Numbers-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a scientific notation float. <a id="semver2RangeRe"></a> ### `semver2RangeRe` ↱[source code](./src/semver.mjs#L99) ⇧[semver index](#global-constant-semver-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a semantic versioning range specification. Allows for optional 'v' prefix (equivalent to '='), and otherwise follows the [original spec's BNF grammar](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/using-npm/semver#range-grammar). This means that an 'and' space between versions must be a single space and also requires exactly one space around hyphenated ranges. <a id="semver2Re"></a> ### `semver2Re` ↱[source code](./src/semver.mjs#L31) ⇧[semver index](#global-constant-semver-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a semantic version string according to the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification.

This function supports two modes: 1. Sequential mode: Tests capture groups 1, 2, 3, ... in order (when groupNumbers is omitted) 2. Numbered mode: Tests specific capture group numbers (when groupNumbers is provided) The numbered mode is useful for regexes with internal non-capturing groups, backreferences, or alternations that create sparse or non-sequential capture group numbering. | Param | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `re` | `RegExp` | The regular expression to test | | `inputs` | `Array.<string>` | Array of input strings to test against the regex | | `expectedMatches` | `Array.<Array.<(string|undefined)>>` | Array of expected capture group values for each input. Each inner array contains the expected values for the capture groups being tested. | | [`groupNumbers`] | `Array.<number>` | Optional array of capture group numbers to test. If omitted, tests groups 1, 2, 3, ... sequentially. | | `desc` | `string` | Description of the test (shown in test output) | **Examples**: ```js // Sequential mode (tests groups 1, 2, 3) testCaptureGroups( /(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/, ['2024-01-15'], [['2024', '01', '15']], 'date capture groups' ) ``` ```js // Numbered mode (tests specific group numbers: 1, 3, 5) testCaptureGroups( /^(https?):\/\/((?:\w+\.)*\w+)(:\d+)?(\/.*)?$/, ['https://example.com:8080/path'], [['https', 'example.com', ':8080', '/path']], [1, 2, 3, 4], // explicitly specify which groups to test 'URL capture groups' ) ``` <a id="commonUrlRe"></a> ### `commonUrlRe` ↱[source code](./src/url.mjs#L111) ⇧[URL index](#global-constant-URL-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches any of the "common" web URL types: 'mailto', 'http/https', 'ftp', and 'file'. You must use the either the 'u' or 'v' flag when using the Re string. <a id="fileUrlRe"></a> ### `fileUrlRe` ↱[source code](./src/url.mjs#L102) ⇧[URL index](#global-constant-URL-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a valid 'file' URL. Provides capture groups: - Group 1: host - Group 2: path You must use the either the 'u' or 'v' flag when using the Re string. <a id="ftpUrlRe"></a> ### `ftpUrlRe` ↱[source code](./src/url.mjs#L90) ⇧[URL index](#global-constant-URL-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a valid 'ftp' URL. Provides capture groups: - Group 1: username - Group 2: user password - Group 3: host or IP - Group 4: port - Group 5: path You must use the either the 'u' or 'v' flag when using the Re string. <a id="httpUrlRe"></a> ### `httpUrlRe` ↱[source code](./src/url.mjs#L75) ⇧[URL index](#global-constant-URL-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a valid 'http/https' URL. Provides capture groups: - Group 1: protocol - Group 2: username - Group 3: user password - Group 4: host or IP - Group 5: port - Group 6: path - Group 7: query string - Group 8: fragment You must use the either the 'u' or 'v' flag when using the Re string. <a id="mailtoUrlRe"></a> ### `mailtoUrlRe` ↱[source code](./src/url.mjs#L48) ⇧[URL index](#global-constant-URL-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a valid 'mailto:' URL. Provides a single capture group: - Group 1: email address You must use the either the 'u' or 'v' flag when using the Re string. <a id="urlRe"></a> ### `urlRe` ↱[source code](./src/url.mjs#L37) ⇧[URL index](#global-constant-URL-index) | [global index](#global-constant-index) Matches a valid, generic URL. Provides capture groups: - Group 1: schema - Group 2: server/authority - Group 3: path - Group 4: query part - Group 5: intra-page link/fragment Note, a URL always has scheme, and at a minimum a server/authority or path, and may have both. The query and fragment components are always optional. For general usage, you might want to use the more specific Res for specific protocols or the `commonUrlRe`. ## Domain name rules Unfortunately, there isn't clear consensus on what is allowed in a subdomain vs a top level domain (TLD); referred to collectively as 'domain labels'. So, here are the rules we follow: * Domain labels may no more than 63 bytes in length. * Labels are composed of alpha-numeric characters (a-z, 0-9, and any non-ASCII Unicode character) and hyphens ('-'), except: * the label may not begin or end with a hyphen, * may not consist of a single digit, * the label must not have consecutive hyphens in the 3rd and 4th position. E.g. 'xy--z' is invalid.[^1] * TLDs must be at least two bytes (two ASCII characters or a single Unicode character) and may not be composed only of digits. * A fully qualified domain is limited to 255 bytes in total. [^1]: The DNS protocol only allows a-z, 0-9, and '-' in domain labels. International domains are encoded as special 'xn--' domains. E.g., 'कॉम"' is encoded as 'xn--11b4c3d'. This is why hyphens in the third and fourth position are restricted. So, while 'xn--11b4c3d' is a valid domain, you can't register such domains directly. You would register the international domain and it's translated to an 'xn--' domain in the background.
