regexp-to-ast

Reads a JavaScript Regular Expression literal(text) and outputs an Abstract Syntax Tree.

Installation

npm
```
  npm install regexp-to-ast
```

Browser

  <script src="https://unpkg.com/regexp-to-ast/lib/parser.js"></script>

API

The API is defined as a TypeScript definition file.

Usage

Parsing to an AST:

1const RegExpParser = require("regexp-to-ast").RegExpParser
2const regexpParser = new RegExpParser.parser()
3
4// from a regexp text
5const astOutput = regexpParser.pattern("/a|b|c/g")
6
7// text from regexp instance.
8const input2 = /a|b/.toString()
9// The same parser instance can be reused
10const anotherAstOutput = regexpParser.pattern(input2)

Visiting the AST:

1// parse to an AST as before.
2const { RegExpParser, BaseRegExpVisitor } = require("regexp-to-ast")
3const regexpParser = new RegExpParser.parser()
4const regExpAst = regexpParser.pattern("/a|b|c/g")
5
6// Override the visitor methods to add your logic.
7class MyRegExpVisitor extends BaseRegExpVisitor {
8    visitPattern(node) {}
9
10    visitFlags(node) {}
11
12    visitDisjunction(node) {}
13
14    visitAlternative(node) {}
15
16    // Assertion
17    visitStartAnchor(node) {}
18
19    visitEndAnchor(node) {}
20
21    visitWordBoundary(node) {}
22
23    visitNonWordBoundary(node) {}
24
25    visitLookahead(node) {}
26
27    visitNegativeLookahead(node) {}
28
29    // atoms
30    visitCharacter(node) {}
31
32    visitSet(node) {}
33
34    visitGroup(node) {}
35
36    visitGroupBackReference(node) {}
37
38    visitQuantifier(node) {}
39}
40
41const myVisitor = new MyRegExpVisitor()
42myVisitor.visit(regExpAst)
43// extract visit results from the visitor state.

Compatibility

This library is written in ES5 style and is compatiable with all major browsers and modern node.js versions.

TODO / Limitations

Use polyFill for string.prototype.at to support unicode characters outside BMP.
Descriptive error messages.
Position information in error messages.
Support unicode flag escapes.
Ensure edge cases described in "The madness of parsing real world JavaScript regexps" are supported.
Support deprecated octal escapes
