     */
    pattern: string;
    /**
     * Replace string
     * You can use capture pattern like $1, $2. ($0 will be ignored)
     */
    replace?: string;
    /**
     * An array of excludes pattern.
     * If the text is matched this pattern, suppress the error.
     * You can use RegExp-like string
     * https://github.com/textlint/regexp-string-matcher#regexp-like-string
     */
    allows?: string[];
    /**
     * An array for excludes node type.
     * If the text is in the node type, suppress the error.
     * https://github.com/textlint/textlint/blob/master/docs/txtnode.md#type
     * For example, if you want to ignore the text in block quote and link
     * "allowNodeTypes": ["Link", "BlockQuote"]
     */

Examples

Match by RegExp

If you want to found TODO: text, you can write following:

{
    "rules": {
        "@textlint-rule/pattern": {
          "patterns": [
            {
              "message": "No todo",
              "pattern": "/TODO:/i"
            }
          ]
        }
    }
}

Replace the match

If you want to replace YYYY/DD/MM to YYYY-DD-MM format, you can write following:

e.g. 2000/01/01 will be 2000-01-01 by textlint --fix.

:memo: replace mark is starts with $1.

{
    "rules": {
        "@textlint-rule/pattern": {
          "patterns": [
            {
              "message": "Must to use YYYY-MM-DD instead of YYYY/MM/DD",
              "pattern": "/(\\d{4})/(\\d{2})/(\\d{2})/i",
              "replace": "$1-$2-$3"
            }
          ]
        }
    }
}

Check code texts

If you want to check text in a CodeBlock, you need to enable forceCode flag.

{
    "rules": {
        "@textlint-rule/pattern": {
          "patterns": [
            {
              "message": "No todo in code",
              "pattern": "/TODO \\[Issue #\\d+\\]:/i",
              "forceCode": true
            }
          ]
        }
    }
}
