Improved syntax for JavaScript regular expressions, with syntax highlighting.

![regex2](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/695638/192731283-82db8798-d9b9-4f3f-8f13-7a90fb581810.gif)

This package implements two tree-sitter parsers:

- [tree-sitter-regex-unicode-js](https://github.com/wizard04wsu/tree-sitter-regex-unicode-js) for regular expressions that have the Unicode flag set

- [tree-sitter-regex-js](https://github.com/wizard04wsu/tree-sitter-regex-js) for the rest

## Troubleshooting

#### If you're unable to install the package on Windows:

Instead of installing it from within Atom, close Atom and try from the command line.

	cd /d %USERPROFILE%\.atom\packages

	rmdir /s /q javascript-regex

	apm install javascript-regex

#### If there's a failure loading the grammars when you open Atom:

Whenever Atom is updated, this package needs to be rebuilt. Either click the red bug icon in the bottom-right corner of the window, or execute `Incompatible Packages: View` via the command palette. Then, click "Rebuild Packages". You'll have to restart Atom.
