//Declare using class, useful for buil a RegExp from a variable
reg = new RegExp('abc')

//Option you must know: i -> Not case sensitive, g -> match all the string
let str = 'Abc abc abc'
str.match(/abc/) //Array(1) ["abc"] match only the first and return
str.match(/abc/g) //Array(2) ["abc","abc"] match all
str.match(/abc/i) //Array(1) ["Abc"] not case sensitive
