Enforce the use of the regular expression literals instead of the RegExp constructor if possible.

There are two ways to create a regular expression:

  • Regular expression literals, e.g., /abc/u.
  • The RegExp constructor function, e.g., new RegExp("abc", "u") .

The constructor function is particularly useful when you want to dynamically generate the pattern, because it takes string arguments.

Using regular expression literals avoids some escaping required in a string literal, and are easier to analyze statically.

new RegExp("abc", "u");

Use a regular expression literal instead of the RegExp constructor.

> 1 │ new RegExp(“abc”, “u”);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Regular expression literals avoid some escaping required in a string literal, and are easier to analyze statically.

Safe fix: Use a literal notation instead.

1 - new·RegExp(abc,·u);
1+ /abc/u;
2 2

/abc/u;
new RegExp("abc", flags);
