FLUX (Fluent Regular Expressions)

node-flux is a Node.js port of Selvin Ortiz' Flux.php

Currently node-flux is Node.js compatible as it makes use of the util library. I'm looking to change this in the near future to be usable in the browser and on the server.

Flux opens up a new world when writing regular expressions. Using powerful method names, you can build reliable and consistent regular expressions. For example

var Flux = require('flux');
var socialTest = new Flux(); // Let's create a new Flux object for a test
socialTest.startOfLine().either('Twitter', 'Facebook', 'Google+').ignoreCase().endOfLine();
var testString = 'Path';
if(socialTest.match(testString)) {
    console.log('Get out of here Path!');
}else{
    console.log('No match!');
}

Examples

Examples are provided in the /examples directory. You can test them with node examples/usdate.js or node examples/usphone.js

More examples will be added as the syntax evolves or changes.
