buildRegExp()

function buildRegExp(
  sequence: RegexSequence,
  flags?: {
    global?: boolean;
    ignoreCase?: boolean;
    multiline?: boolean;
    hasIndices?: boolean;
    dotAll?: boolean;
    sticky?: boolean;
  },
): RegExp;

The buildRegExp is a top-level function responsible for building a JavaScript-native RegExp object from passed regex sequence.

It optionally accepts a list of regex flags:

• global - find all matches in a string instead of just the first one.
• ignoreCase - perform case-insensitive matching.
• multiline - treat the start and end of each line in a string as the beginning and end of the string.
• hasIndices - provide each captured group's start and end indices in a match.
• dotAll - allows . to match newlines.
• sticky - matches only from the index indicated by the lastIndex property, does not attempt to match from any later indexes.
