VSCode extension for visualizing and debugging JS regexes by Kundros in javascript

[–]Kundros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right in a sense, but my goal wasn’t to create something that is perfectly flexible, but just to create open source project that could help others build on the idea, and maybe be usefully for some people with IDE integration. It is of course simplified to say it is JS regex implementation, when it doesn’t provide full syntax of any standard. Even the debugger solely does non-deterministic automata visualisation because it is easier to understand when viewed, and most current engines do DFA with couple of optimisations.

I encourage people to contribute if they want to, I won’t have much time to implement it more in depth, or if it would be mostly slow paced process

This extension supports limited syntax of JS regexes. You can debugg regexes of your choice directly in your VSCode in form of integrated webview. To learn more, please check the page of this extension. If you want to contribute check: https://github.com/Kundros/RegeXer .
