Patterns

Fluent Regex contains a set of predefined patterns for standard validation tasks. These patterns are designed to be simple and easy to use, just use them.
Ready-to-use patterns can be invoked by calling the appropriate method in the FluentBuilder class.

Remember: Before using ready-made patterns, they must be registered.

Register patterns

Each pattern must be registered before use. There are several ways to do this.

Use Regex::build():

Rudashi\Regex::build([
    PredefinedPattern::class,
]);

Create new FluentBuilder instance:

new Rudashi\FluentBuilder([
    PredefinedPattern::class,
]);

`Date`

If you need to find a date in text, you can use the predefined DatePattern pattern. The pattern identifies dates in the formats mm-dd-yyyy, dd-mm-yyyy, yyyy-mm-dd, regardless of whether a backslash /, dot ., or dash - is used.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\DatePattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->date()
    ->end();

`Time`

When you need to check whether a given text contains timestamps, you can use the predefined TimePattern pattern. This pattern identifies 12-hour and 24-hour time.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\TimePattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->time()
    ->end();
 
// /^(?<!\d)(?:(?:[01]?\d|2[0-3]):(?:[0-5]\d)(?::(?:[0-5]\d))?(?! ?[AaPp][Mm])|(?:0?[1-9]|1[0-2]):(?:[0-5]\d)(?: ?[AaPp][Mm])?)$/

`IPv4 address`

To identify whether a given text contains IP version 4 addresses, you can use the predefined IPAddressPattern pattern. The pattern only identifies IPv4-compliant addresses.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\IPAddressPattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->ipAddress()
    ->end();
 
// /^((25[0-5]|(2[0-4]|1\d|[1-9]|)\d)\.?\b){4}$/

`IPv6 address`

You can use the predefined IPv6AddressPattern pattern to find whether a given text contains IP addresses. This pattern can only find addresses that match IPv6.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\IPv6AddressPattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->ipv6()
    ->end();
 
// /^(([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){7,7}[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}|...|:((:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}){1,7}|:))$/

`MAC address`

To find whether a given text contains MAC addresses, you can use the predefined MACAddressPattern pattern. The pattern can distinguish addresses that use not only the default colon :, but also dot . and dash -.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\MACAddressPattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->macAddress()
    ->end();
 
// /^(?<![0-9A-Fa-f.:-])(?:[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}[:.-]){5}(?:[0-9A-Fa-f]{2})(?![0-9A-Fa-f:-])$/

`Email`

To verify whether an e-mail address is included in a given text, you can use the predefined EmailPattern pattern. It will allow you not only to check whether the e-mail is correct but also to isolate it.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\EmailPattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->email()
    ->end();
 
// /^\w+(?:[\.\-]\w+)*@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,}$/

`Url`

To check whether a given text contains a website, you can use the predefined UrlPattern pattern. It only accepts addresses with the http or https protocol entered.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\UrlPattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->url()
    ->end();
 
// /^https?\:\/\/[^-][a-z\d.-]+[^-]\.[a-z]{2,}(\/[a-z\d\/-]*)?$/

`Credit card`

To find if there is any credit card number in a given text, you can use the predefined CreditCardPattern pattern. The pattern identifies Visa and MasterCard cards.

use Rudashi\Regex;
 
$pattern = Regex::build([Rudashi\Patterns\CreditCardPattern::class])
    ->start()
    ->creditCard()
    ->end();
 
// /^(?:4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?|5[1-5][0-9]{14})$/
