A regular Expression to parse ECMAScript6 import syntax

regex-es6-imports.js

let regex = `import
  (?:
    ["'\s]*
      ([\w*{}\n, ]+)
      from\s*
  )?
  ["'\s]*
    ([@\w/_-]+)
  ["'\s]*
;?
`;

// Matches...
/*
import {
  Component
} from '@angular2/core';

import defaultMember from "module-name";
import   *    as name from "module-name  ";
import   {  member }   from "  module-name";
import { member as alias } from "module-name";
import { member1 , member2 } from "module-name";
import { member1 , member2 as alias2 , member3 as alias3 } from "module-name";
import defaultMember, { member, member } from "module-name";
import defaultMember, * as name from "module-name";
import "module-name";

Another bug: https://regex101.com/r/giqmTO/4

Fixed: https://regex101.com/r/giqmTO/5

import(?:["'\s]*([\w*{}\n, ]+)from\s*)?["'\s].*([@\w/_-]+)["'\s].*

Thanks !

Here is a fix to have the module as the second matching group :

import(?:["'\s]*([\w*{}\n, ]+)from\s*)?["'\s](.*[@\w/_-]+)["'\s].*

thank you for sharing this publically. is there a final version of the expression. I see all links have some or the other bug and has been worked on for many use cases but there is one of the other bug. i feel a duh here. i accumulated all the use cases now of the links.

/**

import {
  Component
} from '@angular2/core';
import defaultMember from "module-name";
import   *    as name from "module-name  ";
import   {  member }   from "  module-name";
import { member as alias } from "module-name";
import { member1 , member2 } from "module-name";
import { member1 , member2 as alias2 , member3 as alias3 } from "module-name";
import {

} from '@angular2/core';
import defaultMember from "$module-name";
import defaultMember, { member, member } from "module-name";
import defaultMember, * as name from "module-name";

import   *    as name from "module-name  "
import   {  member }   from "  module-name"
import { member as alias } from "module-name"
import { member1 , member2 } from "module-name"
import { member1 , member2 as alias2 , member3 as alias3 } from "module-name"
import {
  Component
} from '@angular2/core'
import defaultMember from "$module-name"
import defaultMember, { member, member } from "module-name"
import defaultMember, * as name from "module-name"

import "module-name";
import React from "react"
import { Field } from "redux-form"
import "module-name";

import {
	PlaneBufferGeometry,
	OctahedronGeometry,
	TorusBufferGeometry
} from '../geometries/Geometries.js';

import {
	PlaneBufferGeometry,
	OctahedronGeometry,
	TorusBufferGeometry
} from '../geometries/Geometries.js'

import("whatever.js");
import("whatever.js")

import { Field } from "redux-form";
import MultiContentListView from "./views/ListView";
import MultiContentAddView from "./views/AddView";
import MultiContentEditView from "./views/EditView";

import { Field } from "redux-form"
import MultiContentListView from "./views/ListView"
import MultiContentAddView from "./views/AddView"
import MultiContentEditView from "./views/EditView"


<MenuItem value="^$" primaryText="Não exibir importados" />
<MenuItem value="\\w+" primaryText="Exibir importados" />

// *Add all needed dependency to this module
// *app requires those import modules to function


*/

/**
* 
 *Add all needed dependency to this module
 *app requires those import modules to function
 * 
**/

let modules = [];

---

i wish to get the ---objects--- and ---modules--- from the following as a final match access:

import ---objects--- from "---modules---"
let variable = import("---modules---")

---

The regex /import(?:[\s.*]([\w*{}\n\r\t, ]+)[\s*]from)?[\s*](?:["'](.*[\w]+)["'])?/gm matches all https://regex101.com/r/QtftIb/1 other than:

---

// following not matched
import("whatever.js");
// following not matched
import("whatever.js")



//
// following import key matched
//

// *Add all needed dependency to this module
// *app requires those import modules to function



//
// following import key matched
//

/**
* 
 *Add all needed dependency to this module
 *app requires those import modules to function
 * 
**/

second, can i use this for my intented requirement?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an optimized regex pattern that can be used to match import statements in JavaScript. This regex will successfully match various types of imports, including side effect imports (e.g., import "module-name";) and dynamic imports. It also handles different types of quotes, multiline import statements, and multiple whitespaces.

Here's the optimized regex pattern:

import\s+(?:{[^{}]+}|.*?)\s*(?:from)?\s*['"].*?['"]|import\(.*?\)

You can check out a live demo and test it using this Regex101 link.

I love it! Thanks for sharing!

thanks @ganeshkbhat, I used it for the reference. Mine particular case to find occurences of specific import package.

import(?:[\s.*]([\w*{}\n\r\t, ]+)[\s*]from)\s+['"]lodash['"];
                                                  ^^^^^^
