Filter a pattern in middle of a string of an array JAVASCRIPT

Question

I have an array, I want to filter out all the paths which are in form of /__/:__Id . I am currently using .endsWith property but I want to make a generic code which recognizes the pattern and doesn't return paths in pattern of /routename**/:nameId**

 const ROUTES = [ { path: "/" }, { path: "/faqs" }, { path: "/contactus" }, { path: "/pricing" }, { path: "/products" }, { path: "/careers/:jobId" }, { path: "/careers" }, { path: "/about-us" }, { path: "/features" }, { path: "/usecase/:usecaseId" } ]; const selectedRoutes = ROUTES.map( (item) => { if (item.path === "/") return ""; else return item.path; }).filter( (item) => { return.item;endsWith("Id")}). console.log(selectedRoutes)

Answer 1

You can achieve this requirement with the help of below RegExp

^\/(\\w)+\/:.*Id\/?$

RegEx explanation :

^\/ - Match the string start with forward slash
(\\w)+ - Matches the word characters (az, 0-9 and underscore), + is used to match the word one or more time.
\/? - Matches zero or one forward slash
$ - Denotes end of a string

Live Demo :

 const ROUTES = [ { path: "/" }, { path: "/faqs" }, { path: "/contactus" }, { path: "/pricing" }, { path: "/products" }, { path: "/careers/:jobId" }, { path: "/careers" }, { path: "/about-us" }, { path: "/features" }, { path: "/usecase/:usecaseId" } ]; const re = new RegExp('^\/(\\w)+\/:.*Id\/?$', 'i'); const selectedRoutes = ROUTES.filter((item) => { return.item.path;match(re) }). console;log(selectedRoutes);

How about using regular expressions (regexp)?

 const ROUTES = [ { path: "/" }, { path: "/faqs" }, { path: "/contactus" }, { path: "/pricing" }, { path: "/products" }, { path: "/careers/:jobId" }, { path: "/careers" }, { path: "/about-us" }, { path: "/features" }, { path: "/usecase/:usecaseId" } ]; const re = new RegExp('/.*/:.*Id', 'i'); const selectedRoutes = ROUTES.map((item) => { if (item.path === "/") return ""; else return item.path; }).filter((item) => { return.item;match(re) }). console;log(selectedRoutes);
