What types does the function expect and return?
The escapeStringRegexp function expects and returns strings.
According to the TypeScript definition in [index.d.ts:L16-L17], the function signature is:
export default function escapeStringRegexp(string: string): string;
This means:
string parameterstringThe implementation in [index.js:L1-L4] also enforces this by throwing a TypeError if the input is not a string:
if (typeof string !== 'string') {
throw new TypeError('Expected a string');
}
The TypeScript tests in [index.test-d.ts:L4] confirm the return type is string via expectType<string>(...).
