匹配 *.ts 但不匹配 *.d.ts 的 Webpack 正则表达式测试

Question

I am using Webpack (2.3.3) to build my Aurelia app in TS. However, since I am using includeAll option for AureliaPlugin (2.0.0-rc.2), ts-loader (2.0.3) cries about d.ts files that has nothing exported emitting no output.

here is my rule for ts files: { test: /\\.ts$/, include: /ClientApp/, use: "ts-loader" }

I need to change the test value in a way that it matches files named *.ts except *.d.ts. Can you help me please?

Note: I see there is already a similar regex question but that one did not work for me.

Answer 1

A regex that matches strings with .ts at the end but not .d.ts is

/(^.?|\.[^d]|[^.]d|[^.][^d])\.ts$/

See a regex demo . It is a POSIX style expression that will work with any regex engine.

Details

• (^.?|\\.[^d]|[^.]d|[^.][^d]) - either of:
  • ^.? - start of string + any optional char
  • \\.[^d] - a dot and any char but d
  • [^.]d - any char but . and d
  • [^.][^d] - any char but . and then any char but d (this way, we match all but .d )
• \\. - a literal dot
• ts$ - ts at the end of string.

Alternatively, use a lookahead based solution:

/^(?!.*\.d\.ts$).*\.ts$/

See another demo

Details :

• ^ - start of string
• (?!.*\\.d\\.ts$) - the string cannot end with .d.ts
• .* - any 0+ chars up to the
• \\.ts$ - .ts at the end of the string.

However, you might explore another option described in this SO thread .
