FUNCTIONS

query2re

Usage:

 query2re(%args) -> any

Convert a query to regex and show it.

Examples:

• Must match all terms:

   query2re(queries => ["term1", "term2"]); # -> "(?^s:\\A(?=.*term1)(?=.*term2).*\\z)"

• Must contain term1 and term2 but must not contain term3:

   query2re(queries => ["term1", "term2", "-term3"]);

  Result:

   "(?^s:\\A(?=.*term1)(?=.*term2)(?!.*term3).*\\z)"

• Need to only match one term, search case-insensitively:

   query2re(queries => ["term1", "term2", "term3"], bool => "or", ci => 1);

  Result:

   "(?^si:\\A(?:(?=.*term1)|(?=.*term2)|(?=.*term3)).*\\z)"

• Regex in term:

   query2re(queries => ["term1", "/term2.*/", "term3"]);

  Result:

   "(?^s:\\A(?=.*term1)(?=.*(?^:term2.*))(?=.*term3).*\\z)"

• Word searching (terms must be whole words):

   query2re(queries => ["word1", "word2", "word3"], word => 1);

  Result:

   "(?^s:\\A(?=.*\\bword1\\b)(?=.*\\bword2\\b)(?=.*\\bword3\\b).*\\z)"

• Disallow regex searching:

   query2re(queries => ["term1", "/term2.+/", "term3"], re => 0);

  Result:

   "(?^s:\\A(?=.*term1)(?=.*\\/term2\\.\\+\\/)(?=.*term3).*\\z)"

This function is not exported.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
