The flags
accessor property of RegExp instances returns the flags of this regular expression.
Description
RegExp.prototype.flags
has a string as its value. Flags in the flags
property are sorted alphabetically (from left to right, e.g. "dgimsuvy"
). It actually invokes the other flag accessors (hasIndices
, global
, etc.) one-by-one and concatenates the results.
All built-in functions read the flags
property instead of reading individual flag accessors.
The set accessor of flags
is undefined
. You cannot change this property directly.
Examples
Using flags
/foo/ig.flags; // "gi"
/bar/myu.flags; // "muy"
