Day 6: Super Expressive ✨

Day 6: Super Expressive ✨


Ever wished for a better way to write regular expressions? If so, today is the day this dream comes true as I present to you super-expressive!

Install the dependency, e.g. with:

deno add npm:super-expressive
Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

Create a file, e.g. main.ts:

import SuperExpressive from "npm:super-expressive";

const regExp = SuperExpressive()
  .caseInsensitive
  .allowMultipleMatches
  .string("<strong>Find me!</strong>")
  .toRegex();

console.log(
  "Do you think you would be able to <strong>Find me!</strong>? Or Find me! So go on and <strong>Find me!</strong>".replace(
    regExp,
    "FOUND!"
  )
);

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

And running the script should result in:

deno run -A ./main.ts
Do you think you would be able to FOUND!? Or Find me! So go on and FOUND!
Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

What do you think? Is it a nicer way to write RegExps or should we still learn how to do it manually?

Liked the content and would love to have more of it all year long?
