This might be incomplete. Please help me test it.

Install

You can just download the standalone bundle (it might take a minute to download) and include the file in your manifest.json, or:

npm install webext-pattern-to-regex

// This module is only offered as a ES Module
import webextPatternToRegex from 'webext-pattern-to-regex';

Usage

webextPatternToRegex('http://*/*');
// Returns /^http:\/\/?.+\/.+$/

const gmailRegex = webextPatternToRegex('*://mail.google.com/*');
gmailRegex.test('https://mail.google.com/a/b/c'); // -> true
gmailRegex.test('https://photos.google.com/a/b/c'); // -> false

// Also accepts an array of patterns and returns a single regex
const googleRegex = webextPatternToRegex(
	'https://google.com/*',
	'https://google.it/*'
);
googleRegex.test('https://google.it/search'); // -> true
