Discussion on: Let's stop using [a-zA-Z]+

[Pacharapol Withayasakpunt]

A while ago, I also learnt that JavaScript regex has unicode support (via /.../u).

I always had to use XRegExp before.

Also, the syntax is a little different. XRegExp('\\p{Han}') vs /\p{sc=Han}/u.

For this, I also recommend this VSCode extension, so that you don't write an invalid regex. (Like, valid in some compilers, but not native JavaScript.)

For /\p{Letter}/u, I would normally write shorthand.

/^[\p{L}\p{N}\p{M}-]+$/u
