regexp-cyrl

Аllows you to take full advantage of the capabilities of regular expressions with Cyrillic symbols

Usage

const regExpCyrlCreator = require('regexp-cyrl');

const RegExpCyrl = regExpCyrlCreator('ru'); // 'ru' or 'uk' parameter. By default 'ru';

const string = 'Привет мир!';
const regexp = new RegExpCyrl('^привет\\b', 'i');

const match = RegExpCyrl.match(string, regexp);
// or
const match = regexp.match(string);

console.dir(match); // [ 'Привет', index: 0, input: 'Привет мир!', groups: undefined ]

Why is it needed?

By default, RegEx symbols like \b or \B don't support Cyrillic characters.

Example:

  const string = 'Привет мир!';
  const regexp = new RegExp('^привет\\b', 'i');

  const match = string.match(regexp);

  console.dir(match) // null

With RegExpCyrl:

  const RegExpCyrl = require('regexp-cyrl')();

  const string = 'Привет мир!';
  const regexp = new RegExpCyrl('^привет\\b', 'i');

  const match = regexp.match(string); 

  console.dir(match); // [ 'Привет', index: 0, input: 'Привет мир!', groups: undefined ]
