* Supports compiling regex at compile-time

* Supports matching at compile-time

* Unicode level-1 support

* PCRE syntax and semantics

## Install

```

nimble install regex

```

# Compatibility

Nim +1.6.0

## Docs

[Read the docs](https://nitely.github.io/nim-regex/)

## Tests

```

nimble test

```

## Debugging

Compile with `-d:regexDotDir:.` to generate [dot files](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language)) of the regexes (NFAs) within the nim file. A dot file can be viewed in [Graphviz](https://dreampuf.github.io/GraphvizOnline/). Requires Nim +1.2.
