simplepattern is a simple regex-abstracting utilities library. Its purpose is to make common regex-related operations more human readable.

Usage:

Add simplepattern to your package.json, and npm-install it. var pattern = require('simplepattern');

contains(input, pattern)
Arguments

1. input: the string we are evaluating for the pattern
2. pattern: the pattern we are looking for in 'input'

pattern.contains("abc", "a") --> true

containsAllOf(input, patternsArray)
Same idea as 'contains', except with an array.
pattern.containsAllOf("abc", ["a", "c"]) --> true

containsOneOf(input, patternsArray)
pattern.containsOneOf("abc", ["a", "d"]) --> true
pattern.containsOneOf("abc", ["1", "d"]) --> false

endsWith(input, pattern)
pattern.endsWith("abc", "c") --> true

endsWithOneOf(input, patternsArray)
pattern.endsWithOneOf("abc", ["c", "d"]) --> true

startsWith(input, pattern)
pattern.startsWith("abc", "a") --> true

startsWithOneOf(input, patternsArray)
pattern.startsWithOneOf("abc", ["a", "c"]) --> true

Running tests:

Navigate to the root directory for the library.
