Views.exec() Regex only works when I console.log it
So I was trying to make a markdown parser that supports tailwinds but got stuck on the code block part. whenever I run .exec() on the code block regex I can't access the values from the returned array, I can only log the array to console. I also tried adding a lastIndex but that doesn't work.
function parseCodeBlock(data) {
let match = /^(([ \t]*`{3,4})([^\n]*)([\s\S]+?)(^[ \t]*\2))/gm.exec(
data.string
);
return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(match));
}
// line 94 - 97
let match = parseCodeBlock({ string: HtmlCode });
console.log(match);
let code = match[3];

From the logs, your code is executed twice, the second time the returned value is null.

As I can see from your screenshot, there are two logs from the same code line (95). One with the array, the second with null.
I guess you're trying to access the array AFTER the second log (null)

I found another regex that fixed this problem here is the code.
function parseCodeBlock(data) {
let html = data.string.replace(
/^```(([a-z0-9-]+?)\n+)?\n*([^]+?)\n*```/gim,
`<pre><code class="language-$1">$3</code></pre>`
);
return html;
}
