stringMatches (Generator)

Retrieves all the matches of a regex in a string, via a generator.

This works exactly like string-match, but uses a generator.

Install

npm install --save string-matches-generator

Usage

import stringMatches from 'string-matches–generator';

const str = 'A tidy tiger tied a tighter tie to tidy her tiny tail';
const regex = /tidy/g; // Don't forget the `g` flag, or it won't work

for ( const match of stringMatches ( str, regex ) ) {

  console.count ( 'match' ); // => 1 // => 2

}
