How to evaluate a string on a regular expression rule in JavaScript

-

JavaScript has a built in regular expression function for testing if a string arguments is matching the given regular expression rule;

Syntax of the regular expression tester is as follows;

/regex/.test(string)

Take for instance you want to test if a string contains only alphanumeric upper and lower case characters, space and numbers;

const str = "Eat code sleep"

/[A-Z,a-z,0-9, ]*/.test(str)
// returns boolean 'true'

Or in another example;

const str = "Eat, Code, Sleep"

/[A-Z,a-z,0-9, ]*/.test(str)
// returns boolean 'false'

Because commas are not included in the regular expression match rules.

JavaScript default parameters

Since es6 its possible to include default function parameters just like other programing languages such as php do, default parameters cut down the need to initially set default Parameters within the code as; const vec function (x, y){ if(typeof x == "undefined") x = 0; if(typeof y == "undefined") y = 0; return { x, y } } now the above can be done in a more simple way , using default parameters as; const vec function (x = 0, y = 0){ return { x, y } } In either of the functions if you omit either of the Parameters your parameter will default to zero ie 0;
