Developing

This library uses Valadate for its test (not yet functional)

Usage

    .start_of_line()
    .then("http")
    .maybe("s")
    .then("://")
    .maybe("www.")
    .anything_but(" ")
    .end_of_line();
// Create an example URL
var test_me = "https://www.vala-project.org";
// Verify using VerbalExpression's matches() method
assert_true(verbex.matches(test_me));
