api

• regexArg = require('regex-arg')
• regexArg(string, unsafe)
  • string, the regex to make
  • if unsafe is truthy allow unsafe regexps to return from this function. warning these can take down your server so only unsafe regex that are trusted should be used and should really really be rewritten,
