Explainer None Specification https://tc39.es/proposal-regex-escaping Summary RegExp.escape is a static method that takes a string and returns an escaped version that may be used as a pattern inside a regular expression. For example, copied from the proposal explainer: ``` const str = prompt("Please enter a string"); const escaped = RegExp.escape(str); const re = new RegExp(escaped, 'g'); // handles reg exp special tokens with the replacement. console.log(ourLongText.replace(re)); ``` Blink component Blink>JavaScript>Language TAG review None TAG review status Not applicable Risks Interoperability and Compatibility None Gecko: Shipped/Shipping (https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-platform/c/yWsLDyVI044/m/qLsdrApJCQAJ) WebKit: Shipped/Shipping (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-18_2-release-notes#JavaScript) Web developers: No signals Other signals: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
