A collection of LPEG patterns

A collection of LPEG patterns

Use cases

  • Strict validation of user input
  • Searching free-form input

Modules

core

A small module implementing commonly used rules from RFC-5234 appendix B.1

  • ALPHA (pattern)
  • BIT (pattern)
  • CHAR (pattern)
  • CR (pattern)
  • CRLF (pattern)
  • CTL (pattern)
  • DIGIT (pattern)
  • DQUOTE (pattern)
  • HEXDIG (pattern)
  • HTAB (pattern)
  • LF (pattern)
  • LWSP (pattern)
  • OCTET (pattern)
  • SP (pattern)
  • VCHAR (pattern)
  • WSP (pattern)

IPv4

  • IPv4address (pattern): parses an IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. on success, returns addresses as an IPv4 object
  • IPv4_methods (table):
    • unpack (function): the IPv4 address as a series of 4 8 bit numbers
    • binary (function): the IPv4 address as a 4 byte binary string
  • IPv4_mt (table): metatable given to IPv4 objects
    • __index (table): IPv4_methods
    • __tostring (function): returns the IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation

IPv4 "dotted decimal notation" in this document refers to "strict" form (see RFC-6943 section 3.1.1) unless otherwise noted.

IPv6

  • IPv6address (pattern): parses an IPv6 address
  • IPv6addrz (pattern): parses an IPv6 address with optional "ZoneID" (see RFC-6874)
  • IPv6_methods (table): methods available on IPv6 objects
    • unpack (function): the IPv6 address as a series of 8 16bit numbers, optionally followed by zoneid
    • binary (function): the IPv6 address as a 16 byte binary string
    • setzoneid (function): set the zoneid of this IPv6 address
  • IPv6_mt (table): metatable given to IPv6 objects
    • __tostring (function): will return the IPv6 address as a valid IPv6 string

uri

Parses URIs as described in RFC-3986.

  • uri (pattern): on success, returns a table with fields: (similar to luasocket)
    • scheme
    • userinfo
    • host
    • port
    • path
    • query
    • fragment
  • absolute_uri (pattern): similar to uri, but does not permit fragments
  • uri_reference (pattern): similar to uri, but permits relative URIs
  • relative_part (pattern): matches a relative uri not including query and fragment; data is held in named group captures "userinfo", "host", "port", "path"
  • scheme (pattern): matches the scheme portion of a URI
  • userinfo (pattern): matches the userinfo portion of a URI
  • host (pattern): matches the host portion of a URI
  • IP_literal (pattern): matches an IP based host portion of a URI. Capture is an IPv4, IPv6 or IPvFuture object
  • port (pattern): matches the port portion of a URI
  • authority (pattern): matches the authority portion of a URI; data is held in named group captures of "userinfo", "host", "port"
  • path (pattern): matches the path portion of a URI. Captures nil for the empty path.
  • segment (pattern): matches a path segment (a piece of a path without a /)
  • query (pattern): matches the query portion of a URI
  • fragment (pattern): matches the fragment portion of a URI
  • sane_uri (pattern): a variant that shouldn't match things that people would not normally consider URIs. e.g. uris without a hostname
  • sane_host (pattern): a variant that shouldn't match things that people would not normally consider valid hosts.
  • sane_authority (pattern): a variant that shouldn't match things that people would not normally consider valid hosts.
  • pct_encoded (pattern): matches a percent encoded octet, produces a capture of the normalised form.
  • sub_delims (pattern): the set of subcomponent delimeters

email

  • mailbox (pattern): the mailbox format: matches either name_addr or an addr-spec.
  • name_addr (pattern): the name and address format i.e. Display Name<[email protected]> Has captures of the local_part and the domain. Captures the display name in the named capture "display"
  • email (pattern): also known as an "addr-spec"; follows RFC-5322 section 3.4.1 Has captures of the local_part and the domain Be careful trying to reconstruct the email address from the captures; you may need escaping
  • local_part (pattern): the bit before the @ in an email address
  • domain (pattern): the bit after the @ in an email address
  • email_nocfws (pattern): a variant that doesn't allow for comments or folding whitespace
  • local_part_nocfws (pattern): the bit before the @ in an email address; no comments or folding whitespace allowed.
  • domain_nocfws (pattern): the bit after the @ in an email address; no comments or folding whitespace allowed.
