balanced-match
Match balanced string pairs, like {
and }
or <b>
and </b>
. Supports regular expressions as well!
Example
Get the first matching pair of braces:
var balanced = require('balanced-match');
console.log(balanced('{', '}', 'pre{in{nested}}post'));
console.log(balanced('{', '}', 'pre{first}between{second}post'));
console.log(balanced(/\s+\{\s+/, /\s+\}\s+/, 'pre { in{nest} } post'));
The matches are:
$ node example.js
{ start: 3, end: 14, pre: 'pre', body: 'in{nested}', post: 'post' }
{ start: 3,
end: 9,
pre: 'pre',
body: 'first',
post: 'between{second}post' }
{ start: 3, end: 17, pre: 'pre', body: 'in{nest}', post: 'post' }
API
var m = balanced(a, b, str)
For the first non-nested matching pair of a
and b
in str
, return an
object with those keys:
- start the index of the first match of
a
- end the index of the matching
b
- pre the preamble,
a
andb
not included - body the match,
a
andb
not included - post the postscript,
a
andb
not included
If there's no match, undefined
will be returned.
If the str
contains more a
than b
/ there are unmatched pairs, the first match that was closed will be used. For example, {{a}
will match ['{', 'a', '']
and {a}}
will match ['', 'a', '}']
.
var r = balanced.range(a, b, str)
For the first non-nested matching pair of a
and b
in str
, return an
array with indexes: [ <a index>, <b index> ]
.
If there's no match, undefined
will be returned.
If the str
contains more a
than b
/ there are unmatched pairs, the first match that was closed will be used. For example, {{a}
will match [ 1, 3 ]
and {a}}
will match [0, 2]
.
Installation
With npm do:
npm install balanced-match
