@babel/plugin-transform-unicode-regex
info
This plugin is included in @babel/preset-env
This plugin transforms regular expression literals to support the /u
flag. It does not patch the new RegExp
constructor, since its arguments cannot be pre-transformed statically: to handle runtime behavior of functions/classes, you will need to use a polyfill instead.
Example
In
JavaScript
var string = "foo💩bar";
var match = string.match(/foo(.)bar/u);
Out
JavaScript
var string = "foo💩bar";
var match = string.match(
/foo((?:[\0-\t\x0B\f\x0E-\u2027\u202A-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF][\uDC00-\uDFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF](?![\uDC00-\uDFFF])|(?:[^\uD800-\uDBFF]|^)[\uDC00-\uDFFF]))bar/
);
