// returns false
bool = re.test( '/^\\/([^\\/]+)\\/(.*)$/' );
// returns true
`
` javascript
var re = require( 'regex-regex' );
console.log( re.test( '/beep/' ) );

console.log( re.test( '/^.*$/ig' ) );
// returns true
console.log( re.test( '/^\\/([^\\/]+)\\/(.*)$/' ) );
// returns true
console.log( re.test( '/^\/([^\/]+)\/(.*)$/' ) );

$ node ./examples/index.js
Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
` bash`
$ make test
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
` bash`
