Regular expressions are powerful. But they're fucking hard to write, and even harder to read. So I thought I'd share my favourite resources. I hope they're helpful! ❤️
These are NOT affiliate links. They're just resources I use personally.
Regular Expressions in JavaScript
There's a fantastic course on Treehouse called Regular Expressions in JavaScript. It gave me a solid foundation.
If you don't have an account, you can get a week's free trial, which is plenty of time to complete the course. It's ~90 minutes long.
Regular expression syntax cheatsheet
There's a really handy syntax cheat sheet in the MDN Web Docs. It helps a lot when you're writing your own regular expressions.
RegEx Pal
RegEx Pal is a fantastic tool that lets you test your regular expressions in real time. I use it in conjunction with the syntax cheat sheet.
i Hate Regex
My buddy Robert Young showed me this one.
i Hate Regex is a list of regular expressions for common patterns like dates, phone numbers, and email addresses.
