A pcre2 binding for node.js with UTF8 and Unicode properties support. Same API as RegExp class! But with bunch of new features like negative/positive lookbehind.
- node.js -- v4 or newer
- Linux, or OSX (currently not Windows)
git submodule update --init
npm install pcre2
var PCRE2 = require("pcre2").PCRE2;
var PCRE2JIT = require("pcre2").PCRE2JIT; //better performance, longer regex compiling, usually you dont need this class instead of first one.
var re = new PCRE2("^(abc|123)+$", "gi");
var output = re.exec("abc123abc123");
//output is:
//Array[2]:
// 0:"abc123abc123"
// 1:"123"
// index:0
// input:"abc123abc123"
Same as v8's RegExp Plus extra modifiers and syntax, see: https://github.com/jpcre2/jpcre2
