Just adding my support for this, would be nice to be able to do some pattern matching against the query to support some use cases like looking for a query name by a specific pattern. (ie, same as the operation name).
We have a use case where we need to pattern match against header names in a Rhai script and regex would greatly simplify this
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Working in Rhai is typically preferred for performance reasons when config can't suffice. For some customers, there is a need to do complex lookups on string values to ensure they match a specific format (and optionally retrieve matching values).
As a concrete example, if a customer needed to check against a
User-Agent
value and apply a different header based on that value, regex could be well-suited for this need since simple string lookups may not suffice when working with the format.While it may work for some use-cases, and might be able to work for others, it creates a lot of gnarly code that regex is uniquely suited for.
Additionally, pattern matching a header value can incredibly powerful.
Describe the solution you'd like
Support for Regex in Rhai, ideally:
Describe alternatives you've considered
As noted above, using substring lookups.
