Edit

@babel/plugin-proposal-duplicate-named-capturing-groups-regex

Examples

In

var re = /(?<year>\d{4})-(?<month>\d{2})|(?<month>\d{2})-(?<year>\d{4})/;

console.log(re.exec("02-1999").groups.year);

Out

var re = _wrapRegExp(/(\d{4})-(\d{2})|(\d{2})-(\d{4})/, {
  year: [1, 4],
  month: [2, 3],
});

console.log(re.exec("02-1999").groups.year);

Installation

npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-proposal-duplicate-named-capturing-groups-regex

Usage

With a configuration file (Recommended)

{
  "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-proposal-duplicate-named-capturing-groups-regex"]
}

Via CLI

babel --plugins @babel/plugin-proposal-duplicate-named-capturing-groups-regex script.js

Via Node API

require("@babel/core").transformSync("code", {
  plugins: ["@babel/plugin-proposal-duplicate-named-capturing-groups-regex"],
});

Options

runtime

boolean, defaults to true

When this option is disabled, Babel doesn't wrap RegExps with the _wrapRegExp helper. The output only supports internal group references, and not runtime properties:

var stringRe = /(?:(?<quote>")|(?<quote>')).*?\k<quote>/;

stringRe.test("'foo'"); // "true", works
stringRe.exec("'foo'").groups.quote; // undefined
