easy-expressions 0.1.0


# easy-expressions [](https://travis-ci.org/Miserlou/easy-expressions)

The world's most gangsta regular expressions library.

It turns this..

```python

regex = re.compile(r'(?:(?:\$){1,1})(?:(?:(?:\d)){1,})(?:(?:\.){1,1})(?:\d)(?:\d)')
```

into this!

```python
from easy_expressions import Easy

regex = Easy
.find("$")
.min(1).digits()
.then(".")
.digit()
.digit()
.getRegex();

regex.findall("$10.00");
```

## About

_easy-expressions_ is a python regular expressions library with a 'python for humans' philsophy.

Currently in early alpha. More info soon.

## Installation

pip install easy-expressions

## Examples

```python
from easy_expressions import Easy

regex = Easy
.find("$")
.min(1).digits()
.then(".")
.digit()
.digit()
.getRegex();

regex.findall("$10.00");
```

## Inspiration

Regexes are hard when they should be easy.

I had this idea while watching Straight Outta Compton. Turns out [@thebinarysearchtree](https://github.com/thebinarysearchtree/) had already [implemented it in JS](https://github.com/thebinarysearchtree/regexpbuilderjs), so this is essentially a port of that.
