Hay, i need your help…
So we have an example code at textarea and we will use regex to match all:
- class name
- function and variable identifier, and
- parameter inside parentheses (…)
this is the expected return :
(abc) (a) (abc123) (taHandler) (elem) (pattern) (caret_start) (ClassMates) (name) (age) (displayInfo)if you want to edit at regex101: https://regex101.com/r/UCI6Np/1
I already do half of work intil i get stuck to matching variable identifiers that separated by coma. I really appreciate any help from you guys. if something is not clear, fell free to ask me at comment section.
const str = document.getElementById('val_').value;
const regex = /(?<=(let|var|const|function|class)s+)(w+)/g;
let m;
while ((m = regex.exec(str)) !== null) {
// avoid infinite loops with zero-width matches
if (m.index === regex.lastIndex) { regex.lastIndex++; }
// The result can be accessed through the `m`-variable.
m.forEach((match, groupIndex) => {
if( groupIndex === 2 ){
console.log(`match:(${match})`);
}
});
}/* we need to match : - class name - function and variable identifier - parameter inside parentheses (...) this is the expected return : (abc) (a) (abc123) (taHandler) (elem) (pattern) (caret_start) (ClassMates) (name) (age) (displayInfo) */ /* edit on regex101: https://regex101.com/r/UCI6Np/1 */
<textarea id="val_" style="width:100%;height:200px;">
this just example code for regex matching purpose:
var abc = 123;
let a = 'ok';
const abc123 = 'yep';
function taHandler(elem) {
let
pattern = /r?n|r/,
caret_start = elem.selectionStart,
caret_end = elem.selectionEnd,
elmval_ = elem.value;
class ClassMates{
constructor(name,age){
this.name=name;
this.age=age;
}
displayInfo(){
return this.name + "is " + this.age + " years old!";
}
}

Answer
You almost had it done. One difficulty I found is like you said to match variable identifiers separated by commas.
I think if you check they’re preceded by a comma and followed by a = (+ optional white spaces) you’ll be quite safe:
(?<=(let|var|const|function|class)s+)(w+)|(?<=,s+)(w+)(?=s*=)|(?<=[(,])(w+)(?=[),])|(?<=}s+)(w+)(?=()
In order to recognize functions in a class I check if they are preceded by } and followed by ( (+ optional white spaces). This way we exclude the constructor.
