|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Get the first matching pair of braces:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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` and `b` not included
|
|
* **body** the match, `a` and `b` not included
|
|
* **post** the postscript, `a` and `b` 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]`.
