# regexp/no-standalone-backslash

disallow standalone backslashes (\)

# ๐Ÿ“– Rule Details

This rule disallows backslash (\) without escape.

E.g. the regular expression /\c/ without the unicode (u) flag is the same pattern as /\\c/.

In most cases, standalone backslashes are used by accident when a control escape sequence (\cX) or another escape sequence was intended. They are very confusing and should not be used intentionally.

This behavior is described in Annex B (opens new window) of the ECMAScript specification.
