comment-regex
Regular expression for matching JavaScript comments
This is pretty fragile and created for performance reasons where using a real parser would be overkill.
Install
$ npm install comment-regex
Usage
const commentRegex = require('comment-regex');
// Contains a comment
commentRegex().test('/* unicorn */\nvar foo = true;');
//=> true
// Get the contents of a comment
commentRegex().exec('/* unicorn */\nvar foo = true;')[2].trim();
// Get all the comments
'/* unicorn */\nvar foo = true;\nvar unicorn = "rainbows"; // rainbow'.match(commentRegex());
//=> ['/* unicorn */', ' // rainbow']
