cl-match-patterns

* cl-match-patterns

*cl-match-patterns is a library supporting [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns][match patterns as seen in major browsers]]*.

Might be useful for lightweight URL matching or interop with web engines like WebKit.
Otherwise it’s just a minor nerd snipe for a Web standards freak like me ὠ9

** Getting Started
Clone the Git repository:
#+begin_src sh
  git clone --recursive https://codeberg.org/aartaka/cl-match-patterns ~/common-lisp/
#+end_src

And then load ~:cl-match-patterns~ in the REPL:
#+begin_src lisp
  (asdf:load-system :cl-match-patterns)
  ;; or, if you use Quicklisp
  (ql:quickload :cl-match-patterns)
#+end_src

And then use either of the APIs:

#+begin_src lisp
  (cl-match-patterns:parse "*://*/*")
  ;; => #<CL-MATCH-PATTERNS:PATTERN {12033506B3}>
  (cl-match-patterns:parse "*://")
  ;; CL-MATCH-PATTERNS:MALFORMED-PATTERN: Cannot parse pattern '*://' because path is mandatory (even if a mere '/')
  (cl-match-patterns:match "https://aartaka.me" (cl-match-patterns:parse "*://*/*"))
  ;; => T, T, T, T
#+end_src

In case you prefer CLI interaction, you can run tests with ~make check~ and get a development-ready REPL / Swank / Slynk with ~make repl~ / ~make swank~ / ~make slynk~.

** Examples
See [[./tests/tests.lisp]] or [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns][match patterns documentation]] for numerous examples of match patterns.
