-## Install
-
-Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
-
-```sh
-$ npm install --save to-regex-range
-```
-
-Install with [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com):
-

-<details>
-<summary><strong>What does this do?</strong></summary>
-
-<br>
-
-This libary generates the `source` string to be passed to `new RegExp()` for matching a range of numbers.
-
-**Example**
-
-```js
-var toRegexRange = require('to-regex-range');
-var regex = new RegExp(toRegexRange('15', '95'));
-```
-
-A string is returned so that you can do whatever you need with it before passing it to `new RegExp()` (like adding `^` or `$` boundaries, defining flags, or combining it another string).

-<summary><strong>Why use this library?</strong></summary>
-
-<br>
-
-### Convenience
-
-Creating regular expressions for matching numbers gets deceptively complicated pretty fast.
-
-For example, let's say you need a validation regex for matching part of a user-id, postal code, social security number, tax id, etc:
-
-* regex for matching `1` => `/1/` (easy enough)
-* regex for matching `1` through `5` => `/[1-5]/` (not bad...)
-* regex for matching `1` or `5` => `/(1|5)/` (still easy...)
-* regex for matching `1` through `50` => `/([1-9]|[1-4][0-9]|50)/` (uh-oh...)
-* regex for matching `1` through `55` => `/([1-9]|[1-4][0-9]|5[0-5])/` (no prob, I can do this...)
-* regex for matching `1` through `555` => `/([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-4][0-9]{2}|5[0-4][0-9]|55[0-5])/` (maybe not...)
-* regex for matching `0001` through `5555` => `/(0{3}[1-9]|0{2}[1-9][0-9]|0[1-9][0-9]{2}|[1-4][0-9]{3}|5[0-4][0-9]{2}|55[0-4][0-9]|555[0-5])/` (okay, I get the point!)
-
-The numbers are contrived, but they're also really basic. In the real world you might need to generate a regex on-the-fly for validation.
-
-**Learn more**
-
-If you're interested in learning more about [character classes](http://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html) and other regex features, I personally have always found [regular-expressions.info](http://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html) to be pretty useful.
-
-### Heavily tested
-
-As of April 27, 2017, this library runs [2,783,483 test assertions](./test/test.js) against generated regex-ranges to provide brute-force verification that results are indeed correct.
-
-Tests run in ~870ms on my MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7.
-
-### Highly optimized
-
-Generated regular expressions are highly optimized:
-
-* duplicate sequences and character classes are reduced using quantifiers
-* smart enough to use `?` conditionals when number(s) or range(s) can be positive or negative
-* uses fragment caching to avoid processing the same exact string more than once

-## Usage
-
-Add this library to your javascript application with the following line of code
-
-```js
-var toRegexRange = require('to-regex-range');
-```
-
-The main export is a function that takes two integers: the `min` value and `max` value (formatted as strings or numbers).
-
-```js
-var source = toRegexRange('15', '95');
-//=> 1[5-9]|[2-8][0-9]|9[0-5]
-
-var re = new RegExp('^' + source + '$');
-console.log(re.test('14')); //=> false
-console.log(re.test('50')); //=> true
-console.log(re.test('94')); //=> true
-console.log(re.test('96')); //=> false
-```
-
-## Options
-
-### options.capture
-
-**Type**: `boolean`
-
-**Deafault**: `undefined`
-
-Wrap the returned value in parentheses when there is more than one regex condition. Useful when you're dynamically generating ranges.
-
-```js
-console.log(toRegexRange('-10', '10'));
-//=> -[1-9]|-?10|[0-9]
-
-console.log(toRegexRange('-10', '10', {capture: true}));
-//=> (-[1-9]|-?10|[0-9])
-```
-
-### options.shorthand
-
-**Type**: `boolean`
-
-**Deafault**: `undefined`
-
-Use the regex shorthand for `[0-9]`:
-
-```js
-console.log(toRegexRange('0', '999999'));
-//=> [0-9]|[1-9][0-9]{1,5}
-
-console.log(toRegexRange('0', '999999', {shorthand: true}));
-//=> \d|[1-9]\d{1,5}
-```
-
-### options.relaxZeros
-
-**Type**: `boolean`
-
-**Default**: `true`
-
-This option only applies to **negative zero-padded ranges**. By default, when a negative zero-padded range is defined, the number of leading zeros is relaxed using `-0*`.
-
-```js
-console.log(toRegexRange('-001', '100'));
-//=> -0*1|0{2}[0-9]|0[1-9][0-9]|100
-
-console.log(toRegexRange('-001', '100', {relaxZeros: false}));
-//=> -0{2}1|0{2}[0-9]|0[1-9][0-9]|100
-```
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Why are zeros relaxed for negative zero-padded ranges by default?</strong></summary>
-
-Consider the following.
-
-```js
-var regex = toRegexRange('-001', '100');
-```
-
-_Note that `-001` and `100` are both three digits long_.
-
-In most zero-padding implementations, only a single leading zero is enough to indicate that zero-padding should be applied. Thus, the leading zeros would be "corrected" on the negative range in the example to `-01`, instead of `-001`, to make total length of each string no greater than the length of the largest number in the range (in other words, `-001` is 4 digits, but `100` is only three digits).
-
-If zeros were not relaxed by default, you might expect the resulting regex of the above pattern to match `-001` - given that it's defined that way in the arguments - _but it wouldn't_. It would, however, match `-01`. This gets even more ambiguous with large ranges, like `-01` to `1000000`.
-
-Thus, we relax zeros by default to provide a more predictable experience for users.

-
-## Heads up!
-
-**Order of arguments**
-
-When the `min` is larger than the `max`, values will be flipped to create a valid range:
-
-```js
-toRegexRange('51', '29');
-```
-
-Is effectively flipped to:
-
-```js
-toRegexRange('29', '51');
-//=> 29|[3-4][0-9]|5[0-1]
-```
-
-**Steps / increments**
-
-This library does not support steps (increments). A pr to add support would be welcome.
-
-## History
-
-### v2.0.0 - 2017-04-21
-
-**New features**
-
-Adds support for zero-padding!
-
-### v1.0.0
-
-**Optimizations**
-
-Repeating ranges are now grouped using quantifiers. rocessing time is roughly the same, but the generated regex is much smaller, which should result in faster matching.
