regex-empty-conditional-comments^1.8.63

Regular expression for matching HTML empty conditional comments

Install globally, via npm

npm i regex-empty-conditional-comments

The default is exported, so instead of "emptyCondCommentRegex" below, you can name the consumed function however you want.

Consume via a require():

const emptyCondCommentRegex = require("regex-empty-conditional-comments");

or as an ES Module:

import emptyCondCommentRegex from "regex-empty-conditional-comments";

Install as a script, via CDN

Put this in your HTML:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/regex-empty-conditional-comments/dist/regex-empty-conditional-comments.umd.js">

Then, you’ll get a global variable regexEmptyConditionalComments in your Global object and you consume it like this:

const emptyCondCommentRegex = regexEmptyConditionalComments;

This emptyCondCommentRegex is your main function. See its API in the main section.

§ Quick Take

import { strict as assert } from "assert";
import emptyCondCommentRegex from "regex-empty-conditional-comments";

// empty comment which was meant to target Outlook-only
assert.equal(
  emptyCondCommentRegex().test(`<!--[if !mso]>
<![endif]-->`),
  true
);

// empty comment which was meant to target non-Outlook-only
assert.equal(
  emptyCondCommentRegex().test(`<!--[if !mso]><!-- -->
<!--<![endif]-->`),
  true
);

assert.equal(
  emptyCondCommentRegex().test(`<!--[if !mso]><!-- -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<!--<![endif]-->`),
  false
);

assert.equal(
  emptyCondCommentRegex()
    .test(`<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
<o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
<o:AllowPNG/>
<o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch>
</o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
</xml><![endif]-->`),
  false
);

assert.equal(
  emptyCondCommentRegex().exec(
    "<html><!--[if !mso]><![endif]--><title>"
  )[0],
  "<!--[if !mso]><![endif]-->"
);

assert.deepEqual(
  `<html> <!--[if !mso]><![endif]--> <title>text</title> <!--[if gte mso 9]>
<xml>
<![endif]-->`.match(emptyCondCommentRegex()),
  ["<!--[if !mso]><![endif]-->"]
);
