> Memoize the results of a call to the RegExp constructor, avoiding repetitious runtime compilation of the same string and options, resulting in surprising performance improvements.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install --save regex-cache
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Read [what this does](#what-this-does).
|
|
* See [the benchmarks](#benchmarks)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Wrap a function like this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var cache = require('regex-cache');
|
|
var someRegex = cache(require('some-regex-lib'));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Caching a regex**
|
|
|
|
If you want to cache a regex after calling `new RegExp()`, or you're requiring a module that returns a regex, wrap it with a function first:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var cache = require('regex-cache');
|
|
|
|
function yourRegex(str, opts) {
|
|
// do stuff to str and opts
|
|
return new RegExp(str, opts.flags);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
var regex = cache(yourRegex);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations
|
|
|
|
### Use this when...
|
|
|
|
* **No options are passed** to the function that creates the regex. Regardless of how big or small the regex is, when zero options are passed, caching will be faster than not.
|
|
* **A few options are passed**, and the values are primitives. The limited benchmarks I did show that caching is beneficial when up to 8 or 9 options are passed.
|
|
|
|
### Do not use this when...
|
|
|
|
* **The values of options are not primitives**. When non-primitives must be compared for equality, the time to compare the options is most likely as long or longer than the time to just create a new regex.
|
|
|
|
### Example benchmarks
|
|
|
|
Performance results, with and without regex-cache:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# no args passed (defaults)
|
|

|
|
without-cache x 2,777,551 ops/sec ±0.63% (95 runs sampled)
|
|
|
|
# string and six options passed
|
|
with-cache x 1,885,934 ops/sec ±0.80% (93 runs sampled)
|
|
without-cache x 1,256,893 ops/sec ±0.65% (97 runs sampled)
|
|
|
|
# string only

|
with-cache x 7,723,256 ops/sec ±0.87% (92 runs sampled)
|
|
without-cache x 2,303,060 ops/sec ±0.47% (99 runs sampled)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#
|
|
# when non-primitive values are compared
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
# single value on the options is an object
|
|
with-cache x 1,398,313 ops/sec ±1.05% (95 runs sampled)
|
|
without-cache x 2,228,281 ops/sec ±0.56% (99 runs sampled)

|
|
## Run benchmarks
|
|
|
|
Install dev dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm i -d && npm run benchmarks
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What this does
|
|
|
|
If you're using `new RegExp('foo')` instead of a regex literal, it's probably because you need to dyamically generate a regex based on user options or some other potentially changing factors.
|
|
|
|
When your function creates a string based on user inputs and passes it to the `RegExp` constructor, regex-cache caches the results. The next time the function is called if the key of a cached regex matches the user input (or no input was given), the cached regex is returned, avoiding unnecessary runtime compilation.
|
|
|
|
Using the RegExp constructor offers a lot of flexibility, but the runtime compilation comes at a price - it's slow. Not specifically because of the call to the RegExp constructor, but **because you have to build up the string before `new RegExp()` is even called**.
