One regex bug in this formatter.
function slugify(title) {
return title.trim().toLowerCase().replace('/\s+/g', '-');
}
console.log(slugify('Hello World Again'));
Reply with what is broken and how you would fix it.
Yo the regex is a string literal right now. you gotta remove the quotes around /\s+/g.
Spot the Bug answer: The regular expression is passed as a string literal instead of a RegExp object.
The fix:
replace(/\s+/g, '-')
Why:
When a string is passed as the first argument to replace(), it is treated as a literal string to be matched, not a regular expression. This means the function attempts to replace the exact string ‘/\s+/g’ which is not present in the input, leaving spaces unchanged.
