NAME

Regexp::Melody - Melody is a language that compiles to regular expressions, while aiming to be more readable and maintainable

VERSION

version 0.001000

SYNOPSIS

  use Test2::V0;
  use Regexp::Melody;
  
  my $re = Regexp::Melody->new( <<'MELODY' );
  16 of "na";
  
  2 of match {
    <space>;
    "batman";
  }
  MELODY
  
  like( "nananananananananananananananana batman", $re );
  
  done_testing;

DESCRIPTION

Melody is a more verbose way of writing regular expressions.

Melody syntax is described at https://yoav-lavi.github.io/melody/book/.

This module is a wrapper around the Rust implementation of Melody, and provides a functional interface identical to the Rust library, as well as an object-oriented interface which may be more convenient for use in Perl.

FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE

No functions are exported by default, but they may be requested:

  use Regexp::Melody qw( compiler );

Functions

compiler( $melody )

Compiles the string of Melody into a PCRE-like string.

OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE

Constructor

new( $melody )

Compiles a string of Melody into a regular expression.

The returned object is a blessed Perl object, but may be used on the right hand side of the `=~` operator like a regexp.

(It's actually a blessed regexp ref, but that detail may change in future versions of this module.)

Methods

to_melody()

Turns the regexp back into a string of Melody.
