The function is exported as a default export.
You can see this in both the TypeScript definition and the JavaScript implementation:
- [index.d.ts:L16] shows
export default function escapeStringRegexp(string: string): string; - [index.js:L1] shows
export default function escapeStringRegexp(string) {
This is also confirmed in [package.json:L7], which specifies "exports": "./index.js", and the usage example in [readme.md:L16] demonstrates importing it as a default export: import escapeStringRegexp from 'escape-string-regexp';
FOLLOW_UPS:
- What characters does the function escape?
- How does it handle the hyphen character differently?
- What error does the function throw for invalid input?
