Function match

Include another readable RegExp token in the current expression. This is useful for extracting and re-using common expressions.

Example

const number = oneOrMore.digit;
const coordinates = match(number).exactly`,`.match(number);
Copy

This is equivalent to:

const coordinates = oneOrMore.digit.exactly`,`.oneOrMore.digit;
Copy

match can also accept multiple tokens and chain them together, which can be useful for code formatting.

Example

const filename = match(
  oneOrMore.word,
  exactly`_`,
  oneOrMore.digit,
  exactly`.txt`
);
Copy

This is equivalent to:

const filename = oneOrMore.word.exactly`_`.oneOrMore.digit.exactly`.txt`;
Copy
