Add integration tests validating all regex patterns against real markdown content

[Copilot]

Validates all exported regex patterns against source-fullcodetest.md (a real-world newsletter markdown file), and excludes that file from the published npm package.

New files

• tests/helpers/file-loader.js — thin fs.readFileSync wrapper with path.resolve for safe relative/absolute path handling; reusable for future markdown fixtures
• tests/integration/full-content.test.js — 17 tests covering all 17 exported patterns:
  • Asserts positive matches for patterns present in the content (REGEXP_HEADER, REGEXP_IMAGE, REGEXP_LINK, REGEXP_OL_LIST, REGEXP_BR, REGEXP_EM, REGEXP_PARAGRAPH, REGEXP_STRONG, REGEXP_UL_LIST)
  • Asserts null for patterns absent from the content (REGEXP_DEL, REGEXP_Q, REGEXP_CODE, REGEXP_BLOCKQUOTE, REGEXP_HR, REGEXP_EMPTY_UL, REGEXP_EMPTY_OL, REGEXP_EMPTY_BLOCKQUOTE), confirming no false positives

const content = loadMarkdownFile(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../source-fullcodetest.md'));

test('REGEXP_HEADER matches headers in the content', () => {
  const matches = content.match(REGEXP_HEADER);
  expect(matches).not.toBeNull();
  expect(matches.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
});

.npmignore and .eslintignore

• source-fullcodetest.md was already present in .npmignore — no change needed.
• Replaced individual package-lock.json / yarn.lock entries in .eslintignore with a single *.lock wildcard to exclude all lock files from ESLint checks.
• Replaced yarn.lock entry in .npmignore with *.lock to exclude all lock files from the published npm package.

Summary

Add integration tests that validate all regex patterns against the real markdown content in source-fullcodetest.md. This ensures the library can handle complete markdown documents correctly.

What's Included

1. Update .npmignore

• Add source-fullcodetest.md to prevent shipping test data with npm package

2. Create Integration Test

• New file: tests/integration/full-content.test.js
• Loads source-fullcodetest.md and validates all regexes
• Tests each pattern (headers, links, images, lists, code, etc.)
• Verifies matches are found and working correctly

3. Create Test Helper

• New file: tests/helpers/file-loader.js
• Utility function to load markdown files for testing
• Reusable for future markdown test scenarios

Benefits

✅ Real-world testing against complete markdown
✅ Ensures regexes work on actual content
✅ Catches edge cases
✅ Maintains npm package size (test data excluded)
✅ Test data stays in repository for development

Files Modified

• .npmignore - add source-fullcodetest.md

Files Created

• tests/integration/full-content.test.js - integration tests
• tests/helpers/file-loader.js - helper utility

User: what do you think about files structure. my goal was to separate everything. like one tag has a separate file, covered with tests.

Assistant: Great goal! Looking at your current file structure, I can see you have a solid foundation for separation of concerns. Let me analyze what you have:

Assistant: Perfect! Now I can see your current structure. Let me check the tests directory to understand your testing strategy:

Assistant: Perfect! I can see your structure now, and **I actually think your current...

Done in 6ca1b56. The branch now includes all changes from main (modular src/tags/, src/lists/, updated src/index.js, fixtures and per-tag tests) so the PR is conflict-free. Also replaced individual package-lock.json / yarn.lock entries in .eslintignore and .npmignore with a single *.lock wildcard.
