Describe the bug
Due to the missing constructor (issue #74) I tried to use anyOf('.') in the following:
const period = anyOf('.')
const hostname = [host, optional(repeat([period, host], { min: 1, max: 255 }))];
The result was an unescaped period ('.') (match any character) in the regex. This caused a number of weird issues
which kept me company all weekend.
I then tried an escaped period in the anyOf:
const period = anyOf('\.')
const hostname = [host, optional(repeat([period, host], { min: 1, max: 255 }))];
There was no change, the result was an unescaped period.
To Reproduce
import { buildRegExp, anyOf } from '..';
const period = anyOf('.');
const regex = buildRegExp(period);
console.log(regex.source);
console.log(regex);
const escapedPeriod = anyOf('\.');
const escapedRegex = buildRegExp(escapedPeriod);
console.log(escapedRegex.source);
console.log(escapedRegex);
test('`plain period`', () => {
expect(regex.source).toBe('.');
expect(regex).toEqualRegex(RegExp(/./));
expect(regex).toMatchString('.');
expect(regex).not.toMatchString('a');
});
test('`escapedRegex`', () => {
expect(escapedRegex.source).toBe('.');
expect(escapedRegex).toEqualRegex(RegExp(/\./));
expect(escapedRegex).toMatchString('.');
expect(escapedRegex).toMatchString('a');
});
Expected behavior
I expected to match the period in hostnames (i.e. www.google.com).
