Example 1: javascript regex
//Declare Reg using slash
let reg = /abc/
//Declare using class, useful for buil a RegExp from a variable
reg = new RegExp('abc')
//Option you must know: i -> Not case sensitive, g -> match all the string
let str = 'Abc abc abc'
str.match(/abc/) //Array(1) ["abc"] match only the first and return
str.match(/abc/g) //Array(2) ["abc","abc"] match all
str.match(/abc/i) //Array(1) ["Abc"] not case sensitive
str.match(/abc/ig) //Array(3) ["Abc","abc","abc"]
//the equivalent with new RegExp is
str.match('abc', 'ig') //Array(3) ["Abc","abc","abc"]
Example 2: js string to regex
const regex = new RegExp('https:\\/\\/\\w*\\.\\w*.*', 'g');
Example 3: using regex in javascript
//Adding '/' around regex
var regex = /\s/g;
//or using RegExp
var regex = new RegExp("\s", "g");
Example 4: regex for strings with specific letters javascript
let re = /ab+c/;
Example 5: regular expression javascript
// Tests website Regular Expression against document.location (current page url)
if (/^https\:\/\/example\.com\/$/.exec(document.location)){
console.log("Look mam, I can regex!");
}
