@ronaldtse Is this implemented by #158? Or do we also need something else here?

[ronaldtse]

@HassanAkbar actually you're right. However I was wondering if we should support multiple regular expressions, perhaps through value: [ /regex1/, /regex2/ ...] ?

[HassanAkbar]

@ronaldtse Multiple regexes can be handled in the regex by separating them using |. So, do we need to support that as a separate feature and handle it in code?
If yes then I think it should be handled by the pattern, as it is already being used to handle a single regex. We can support something like pattern: [ /regex1/, /regex2/ ...].

What do you suggest?

[ronaldtse]

Combining multiple regexes is not always easy:

We can start with 1 regex first and see if we ever get the need to do more.

@ronaldtse We are supporting single regex in the pattern option: pattern: /regex/
Is there anything else we need to do in this ticket?

[ronaldtse]

Nothing we need to do now. Thanks.
