I'm in the process of porting over a Python library to JavaScript / TypeScript. To help myself out, I'm trying to develop various regex rules that I can apply to files that will automatically convert a lot of the syntax and at least get me close, cleaning up where needed.
I've got the following example:
https://regex101.com/r/mIr0pl/1
this.mk(attrs={keyCollection.key: 40}))
this.mk(attrs={keyCollection.key: 50, override.key: override.value})
this.mk(attrs={keyCollection.key: 60,
override.key: override.value})
I am trying to do a Find/Replace in my editor, to find all key: value
pairs associated with attrs
dictionaries. Here's the regex I've got:
/attrs={(.+?):\s*(.+?)}/gms
I want to convert it to this:
this.mk(attrs=[[keyCollection.key, 40]]))
this.mk(attrs=[[keyCollection.key, 50], [override.key, override.value]])
this.mk(attrs=[[keyCollection.key, 60],
[override.key, override.value]])
I'm having trouble first nailing down the regex to get the repeated key: value groups, and then also how I would go about utilizing those repeated groups in a replace.
(my editor is VSCode, but I'm using this nifty extension to run these modifications: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bhughes339.replacerules)
Any help would be appreciated :)
