Regex+

Visual Studio Code syntax highlighter for Steve Levithan's Regex+ library, "a template tag for readable, high-performance, native JS regexes with extended syntax, context-aware interpolation, and always-on best practices".

Usage

This extension highlights Regex+ template strings in JavaScript and TypeScript source files, including their React flavours.

You can also create and edit .regex+ files, their full text is considered a regular expression source. This may help in writing very complex expressions that you can later copy and paste in your JS/TS code.

Configuration

None yet.

Known Issues

Although the full regular expression syntax Regex+ brings is supported, not all its features are yet implemented.

For now, the following restrictions apply:

• Only the regex and regex(flags) tagged templates are supported. The regex(options_object) variant and the pattern template are not.
• You cannot rename the import, it has to be named regex.

There is still work in progress and the missing features will be implemented gradually.
