external fun match(value: String, regExp: RegExp)(source)

external fun match(value: String, regExp: RegExp, message: String = definedExternally)(source)

external fun match(value: String, regExp: RegExp, message: JsError = definedExternally)(source)

Expects the string input to match the regular expression.

import assert from 'node:assert/strict';

assert.match('I will fail', /pass/);
// AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: The input did not match the regular ...

assert.match(123, /pass/);
// AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: The "string" argument must be of type string.

assert.match('I will pass', /pass/);
// OK

If the values do not match, or if the string argument is of another type than string, an {@link AssertionError} is thrown with a message property set equal to the value of the message parameter. If the message parameter is undefined, a default error message is assigned. If the message parameter is an instance of an Error then it will be thrown instead of the {@link AssertionError}.
