从 Java map 中删除值并使用正则表达式替换为逗号

Question

I have a regular expression that will target everything to the right of ":" in a map and to the left of a ","

I am using this RegExp:

:(.*?)(,|})

Like this:

$PROP_TYPES.replaceAll(":(.*?)(,|})", ",").concat("}")

This works well for the most part, except when the expression runs into objects that are on the right side of the ":"

For example, on a list of prop type definitions in TypeScript:

  "open": "boolean",
  "onDidDismiss": "() => void",
  "message": "string",
  "showAddReceiptModal": "boolean",
  "showModal": "(value: (((prevState: boolean) => boolean) | boolean)) => void",
  "vehicleTabRef": "React.MutableRefObject<null>",
  "onReceiptSubmit": "(data) => void",
  "vehicle": "any",
  "showModal1": "boolean",
  "showModal2": "(value: (((prevState: boolean) => boolean) | boolean)) => void",
  "selectedReceipt": "{ __typename: "Receipt" | undefined; id: string | undefined; purchaseDate: string | undefined; sellerName: string | undefined; sellerAddress: string | undefined; sellerCity: string | undefined; sellerState: string | undefined; sellerZipCode: string | undefined; totalAmount: number | undefined; gallonsPurchased: number | undefined; image?: string | null | undefined | undefined; userID?: string | null | undefined | undefined; vehicleID: string | undefined; vehicle?: Vehicle | null | undefined | undefined; taxRefund?: number | null | undefined | undefined; createdAt: string | undefined; updatedAt: string | undefined }",
  "onClick": "() => void",
  "onClick1": "() => void",
  "dataEditing": "boolean",
  "toastMessage": "(val) => void",
  "editing": "(bool) => void",
  "showToast": "(bool) => void",
  "showModal3": "boolean",
  "showModal4": "(bool) => void",
  "dateFilter": "{ startDate: string; endDate: string }",

When I run replaceAll with this regex, and the replacement is a comma I am left with this:

  open,
  onDidDismiss,
  message,
  showAddReceiptModal,
  showModal,
  vehicleTabRef,
  onReceiptSubmit,
  vehicle,
  showModal1,
  showModal2,
  selectedReceipt,                                                 
  , 
  onClick, 
  onClick1, 
  dataEditing,
  toastMessage, 
  editing, 
  showToast, 
  showModal3, 
  showModal4, 
  dateFilter, 
  , 

Notice the empty commas, these should not be here. This expression should target everything to the right of the ":" and replace it all with a comma.

This code is written in VTL to use with the Webstorm IDE to create quick typescript templates. But Java string manipulation works as well

What regex can I use to only remove everything to the right of the : to the ending comma, and just leave that comma?

Answer 1

You might use:

^\s*\"([^\"]+)\":.*(?=,)

Explanation

• ^ Start of string
• \s* Match optional whitespace chars (Or use \h* in Java to not match newlines)
• \"([^\"]+)\" Capture in group 1 all between double quotes
• :.* Match : and then the rest of the line
• (?=,) Positive lookahead, assert a comma to the right

Regex demo

In the replacement use capture group 1.

The result after the replacement:

open,
onDidDismiss,
message,
showAddReceiptModal,
showModal,
vehicleTabRef,
onReceiptSubmit,
vehicle,
showModal1,
showModal2,
selectedReceipt,
onClick,
onClick1,
dataEditing,
toastMessage,
editing,
showToast,
showModal3,
showModal4,
dateFilter,
