🔧 Options ​

json
{
  "regexp/prefer-lookaround": ["error", {
      "lookbehind": true,
      "strictTypes": true
  }]
}

lookbehind ​

This option controls whether this rule will suggest using lookbehinds. Default is true.

Safari is the last major browser that still does not support regex lookbehind assertions (as of December 2022). So if your code base targets Safari, you cannot use lookbehinds.

strictTypes ​

If true, strictly check the type of object to determine if the regex instance was used in replace() and replaceAll(). Default is true.

This option is always on when using TypeScript.

🚀 Version ​

This rule was introduced in eslint-plugin-regexp v1.2.0
