Params

• pattern: a regular expression used to split the value.
• strict: when true the pattern must be found in the value for a split to be performed.

Examples

Split "0,1,2" into 0, 1, and 2 values:

{
  "use": "@finch/regex-split",
  "params": { "pattern": "/,/g" }
}

Split "Hello World" into "Hello" and "World" values:

{
  "use": "@finch/regex-split",
  "params": { "pattern": "/\\s+/g" }
}

By default the full value will be yielded if the pattern is not found in the value. The example below will not find , in Hello World and will yield Hello World:

  "params": { "pattern": "/,/" }
}
