//=> true
// Is an IP address?
ipRegex({exact: true}).test('unicorn 192.168.0.1');
//=> false
ipRegex.v6({exact: true}).test('1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8');
//=> true
'unicorn 192.168.0.1 cake 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8 rainbow'.match(ipRegex());
//=> ['192.168.0.1', '1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8']
// Contains an IP address?
ipRegex({includeBoundaries: true}).test('192.168.0.2000000000');
//=> false
// Matches an IP address?
'192.168.0.2000000000'.match(ipRegex({includeBoundaries: true}));
//=> null
API
ipRegex(options?)
Returns a regex for matching both IPv4 and IPv6.
ipRegex.v4(options?)
Returns a regex for matching IPv4.
ipRegex.v6(options?)
Returns a regex for matching IPv6.
options
Type: object
exact
Type: boolean
Default: false
(Matches any IP address in a string)
Only match an exact string. Useful with RegExp#test()
to check if a string is an IP address.
includeBoundaries
Type: boolean
Default: false
Include boundaries in the regex. When true
, 192.168.0.2000000000
will report as an invalid IPv4 address. If this option is not set, the mentioned IPv4 address would report as valid (ignoring the trailing zeros).
Important
If you run the regex against untrusted user input in a server context, you should give it a timeout.
I do not consider ReDoS a valid vulnerability for this package. It's simply not possible to make it fully ReDoS safe. It's up to the user to set a timeout for the regex if they accept untrusted user input. However, I'm happy to accept pull requests to improve the regex.
