Regular Expressions for the JavaScript target.

Example:

import std/jsre
let jsregex: RegExp = newRegExp(r"\s+", r"i")
jsregex.compile(r"\w+", r"i")
assert "nim javascript".contains jsregex
assert jsregex.exec(r"nim javascript") == @["nim".cstring]
assert jsregex.toCstring() == r"/\w+/i"
jsregex.compile(r"[0-9]", r"i")
assert "0123456789abcd".contains jsregex
assert $jsregex == "/[0-9]/i"
jsregex.compile(r"abc", r"i")
assert "abcd".startsWith jsregex
assert "dabc".endsWith jsregex
jsregex.compile(r"\d", r"i")
assert "do1ne".split(jsregex) == @["do".cstring, "ne".cstring]
jsregex.compile(r"[lw]", r"i")
assert "hello world".replace(jsregex,"X") == "heXlo world"
jsregex.compile(r"([a-z])\1*", r"g")
assert "abbcccdddd".replace(jsregex, proc (m: varargs[cstring]): cstring = ($m[0] & $(m.len)).cstring) == "a1b2c3d4"
let digitsRegex: RegExp = newRegExp(r"\d")
assert "foo".match(digitsRegex) == @[]

Types

RegExp = ref object of JsRoot
  flags*: cstring            ## cstring that contains the flags of the RegExp object.
  dotAll*: bool              ## Whether `.` matches newlines or not.
  global*: bool              ## Whether to test against all possible matches in a string, or only against the first.
  ignoreCase*: bool          ## Whether to ignore case while attempting a match in a string.
  multiline*: bool           ## Whether to search in strings across multiple lines.
  source*: cstring           ## The text of the pattern.
  sticky*: bool              ## Whether the search is sticky.
  unicode*: bool             ## Whether Unicode features are enabled.
  lastIndex*: cint           ## Index at which to start the next match (read/write property).
  input*: cstring            ## Read-only and modified on successful match.
  lastMatch*: cstring        ## Ditto.
  lastParen*: cstring        ## Ditto.
  leftContext*: cstring      ## Ditto.
  rightContext*: cstring     ## Ditto.
  hasIndices*: bool          ## https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/hasIndices

Source   Edit  
func compile(self: RegExp; pattern: cstring; flags: cstring) {.
    importjs: "#.compile(@)", ...raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}
