dojo/data/util/filter.js

• Provides:

  • dojo.data.util.filter

• dojo.data.util.filter.patternToRegExp

  • parameters:
    • pattern: (typeof String)

      string A simple matching pattern to convert that follows basic rules:
      * Means match anything, so ca* means match anything starting with ca
      ? Means match single character.  So, b?b will match to bob and bab, and so on.
      \ is an escape character.  So for example, \* means do not treat * as a match, but literal character *.
      To use a \ as a character in the string, it must be escaped.  So in the pattern it should be
      represented by \\ to be treated as an ordinary \ character instead of an escape.

    • ignoreCase: (typeof boolean)

      An optional flag to indicate if the pattern matching should be treated as case-sensitive or not when comparing
      By default, it is assumed case sensitive.

  • returns

    RegExp
