:name_badge: Features

This ESLint plugin provides linting rules relate to better ways to help you avoid problems when using RegExp.

  • Find the wrong usage of regular expressions, and their hints.
  • Enforces a consistent style of regular expressions.
  • Find hints for writing optimized regular expressions.
  • 80 plugin rules for regular expression syntax and features.

You can check on the Online DEMO.

:book: Documentation

See documents.

:cd: Installation

npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-plugin-regexp

Requirements

  • ESLint v8.44.0 and above
  • Node.js v18.x, v20.x and above

:book: Usage

Add regexp to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file (you can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix) and either use one of the two configurations available (recommended or all) or configure the rules you want:

The recommended configuration

The plugin:regexp/recommended config enables a subset of the rules that should be most useful to most users. See lib/configs/recommended.ts for more details.

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "regexp"
    ],
    "extends": [
         // add more generic rulesets here, such as:
         // 'eslint:recommended',
        "plugin:regexp/recommended"
    ]
}

Advanced Configuration

Override/add specific rules configurations. See also: http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring.

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "regexp"
    ],
    "rules": {
        // Override/add rules settings here, such as:
        "regexp/rule-name": "error"
    }
}

Using "plugin:regexp/all"

The plugin:regexp/all config enables all rules. It's meant for testing, not for production use because it changes with every minor and major version of the plugin. Use it at your own risk. See lib/configs/all.ts for more details.
