 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | > Create a javascript regular expression for matching everything except for the given string.
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Install
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```sh | ||
|  | $ npm install --save regex-not | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Usage
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | var not = require('regex-not'); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | The main export is a function that takes a string an options object. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | not(string[, options]); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | **Example** | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | var not = require('regex-not'); | ||
|  | console.log(not('foo')); | ||
|  | //=> /^(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+$/ | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | **Strict matching** | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | By default, the returned regex is for strictly (not) matching the exact given pattern (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT _exactly equal_ `foo`"): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | var re = not('foo'); | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('foo'));     //=> false | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('bar'));     //=> true | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('foobar'));  //=> true | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('barfoo'));  //=> true | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### .create
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Returns a string to allow you to create your own regex: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | console.log(not.create('foo')); | ||
|  | //=> '(?:(?!^(?:foo)$).)+' | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ### Options
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | **options.contains** | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | You can relax strict matching by setting `options.contains` to true (in other words, "match this string if it does NOT _contain_ `foo`"): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | var re = not('foo'); | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('foo', {contains: true}));     //=> false | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('bar', {contains: true}));     //=> true | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('foobar', {contains: true}));  //=> false | ||
|  | console.log(re.test('barfoo', {contains: true}));  //=> false | ||
|  | ``` | ||
