Suppose I have a data object with regex in it, that is being fetched from an api, in the form-
data = {regex : "/^[\p{L} .’_-]+$/u"}
If I assign data-parsley-pattern = data.regex, parsley.js transforms it into a format that always results to false where converted= /^\/^[\p{L} .’-]+$\/u$/
If I directly assign data.regex= /^[\p{L} .’-]+$/u then it works fine.
I have tried to converted the stringified regex to object before assigning it, but nothing seems to work. the regex is always changed into something that gives the validation result as false even if value is correct.
The code I used to convert stringified regex to regex object is given here-
const data = { regex : "/^[\p{L} .’_-]+$/u" };
const [, regex, flags] = data.regex.match(/^\/(.)\/([a-z])$/);
const pattern = new RegExp(regex, flags);
console.log(pattern.test('check')); //this results to true
What kind of issue is this? (put 'x' between the square brackets)
