What types does the function expect and return?
The escapeStringRegexp function expects a string as input and returns a string.
This is defined in the TypeScript declaration file [index.d.ts:L16-L17]:
export default function escapeStringRegexp(string: string): string;
The implementation in [index.js:L1-L4] enforces this by throwing a TypeError if the input is not a string:
if (typeof string !== 'string') {
throw new TypeError('Expected a string');
}
