Question

How is the function exported? Is it a default export or a named one?

RepoPilot

The function is exported as a default export.

You can see this in [index.js:L1], where the function is defined as:

export default function escapeStringRegexp(string) {

This is also confirmed in the TypeScript definitions at [index.d.ts:L16-L17]:

export default function escapeStringRegexp(string: string): string;

And in the package.json configuration at [package.json:L11], the exports field points to the main file:

"exports": "./index.js",

The usage examples in the README at [readme.md:L16-L17] also demonstrate this default export pattern:

import escapeStringRegexp from 'escape-string-regexp';

FOLLOW_UPS:

  • What characters does the function escape?
  • How does the function handle the hyphen character?
  • What error does the function throw for non-strings?
