Named Segment values don't work with parenthesis and other non alphanumeric chars

[jahed]

I'm not sure why, but parenthesis don't match when using named segments. Here's an example:

> const UrlPattern = require('url-pattern')
undefined
> const pattern = new UrlPattern('/pages/:pageName')
undefined
> pattern.match('/pages')
null
> pattern.match('/pages/Hello World')
{ pageName: 'Hello World' }
> pattern.match('/pages/Hello World (Example)')
null
> pattern.match('/pages/Hello World {Example}')
null

Is this intentional?

Ah, my bad.

I realised the docs are referring to the value and not the named segment itself!

when matching, a named segment consumes all characters in the regex character set a-zA-Z0-9-_~ %. a >named segment match stops at /, ., ... but not at _, -, , %...

you can change these character sets. click here to see how.
