What types does the function expect and return?
The function escapeStringRegexp expects a string as input and returns a string.
According to the TypeScript definition in [index.d.ts:L16-L17]:
export default function escapeStringRegexp(string: string): string;
The function enforces this at runtime as well. If a non-string value is passed, it throws a TypeError, as shown in [index.js:L2-L4]:
if (typeof string !== 'string') {
throw new TypeError('Expected a string');
}
