String extension

Some popular methods added to the String object in ES6 are −

Sr.No Method & Description
1 str.startsWith(searchString[, position])

determines whether a string begins with the characters of a specified string. Returns true or false

2 str.endsWith(searchString[, length])

determines whether a string ends with the characters of a specified string. Returns true/false

3 str.includes(searchString[, position])

determines whether one string may be found within another string

4 str.repeat(count)

constructs and returns a new string which contains the specified number of copies of the string on which it was called, concatenated together

Regex extensions

In a regular expression, for example, /[A-Z]/g, the beginning and ending / are called depmiters. Anything after the closing depmiter is called a modifier. ES6 adds a new modifier /g where g stands for global. This match all instances of the pattern in a string, not just one.

Example

The following example searches and returns all upper-case characters in the string.


<script>
   let str =  JJavascript is Fun to Work , very Fun  
   let regex = /[A-Z]/g // g stands for global matches
   let result = str.match(regex);
   console.log(result)
</script>

The output of the above code will be as given below −


["J", "J", "F", "W", "F"]

Regular expression searches are case-sensitive. To turn-off case-sensitivity, use the /i modifier.

Example

The following example performs a case insensitive global match. The example replaces fun with enjoyable.


<script>
   // /gi global match ignore case

   let str =  Javascript is fun to Work , very Fun  
   let regex = /Fun/gi;
   console.log(str.replace(regex, enjoyable ));
   console.log(str)
   console.log(str.search(regex))
</script>

The output of the above code will be as shown below −


Javascript is enjoyable to Work , very enjoyable
Javascript is fun to Work , very Fun
