A TypeScript library providing a Python-like regex interface with automatic backend selection
npm install @syntropiq/pyrexA TypeScript library providing a Python-like re interface for regex operations, targeting evergreen browsers. The API closely mirrors Python’s re module, with seamless support for both JavaScript and Python-only regex features.
---
- Pythonic API: re.match, re.search, re.compile, re.sub, re.split, re.findall, re.fullmatch, re.escape
- Automatic backend selection:
- Uses Pyodide and Python’s regex package for Python-only features
- Uses latest JS RegExp and core-js polyfill for JS-compatible patterns
- Written in modern TypeScript, targeting evergreen browsers
- Zero technical debt: Bun for scripts, Vite for build/test/bundle, ESLint + Prettier for code quality

import * as re from '@syntropiq/pyrex';
