OpenRegex-scala provides scala bindings against OpenRegex. The Scala bindings use Scala collections as well as providing a more familiar API for Scala users.
OpenRegex-scala also includes a PatternParser
implementation
that uses reflection to run over any class out of the box. Any public field or
0-argument method may be used to match against a string. There is an exact
string matcher (single quotes) and a regular expression matcher (forward
slashes). Multiple aspects of a class can be matched against and combined with
a logical expression.
case class Point(x: Int, y: Int)
val parser = PatternParsers.reflectionWithLogic[Point]
val regex = parser("<x='1' | x='2'> <x='3' & y='3'>")
regex.matches(Seq(Point(1, 1), Point(3, 3)))Using regular expressions, the pattern could have been expressed equivalently.
val regex = parser("<x=/[12]/> <x='3' & y='3'>")
