What is Regexits?

Regexits is a lightweight npm package that handles a collection of commonly used regex patterns.

Why would you need it?

I suppose the answer is, you hate googling regex when you need to verify a SSN, PhoneNumber, or even URLSlug.

How to use it

Well the good news is, that part is simple.

npm i regexits

Then in your code

const regexits= require('regexits')

regexits(string, pattern)

What options do you currently have?

Date With Slashes

A Quick example

const regexits = require('regexits')

let isSSN = regexits('012-34-5678', 'SSN')

return isSSN;

#This Returns true

So overall its a pretty flexible tool that covers a collection of Regex that is commonly used over and over again. I will continuously updating the npm package along with my other open source tools.

Want a new pattern added just go ahead and add an issue via github and I will add it and republish the npm package.
