# example

||
|
|
``` js

||
|

var safe = require('safe-regex2');
|
||
|
|
var regex = process.argv.slice(2).join(' ');
|

# methods
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
var safe = require('safe-regex')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## var ok = safe(re, opts={})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Return a boolean `ok` whether or not the regex `re` is safe and not possibly
|
||
|
|
catastrophic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`re` can be a `RegExp` object or just a string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the `re` is a string and is an invalid regex, returns `false`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `opts.limit` - maximum number of allowed repetitions in the entire regex.
|
||
|
|
Default: `25`.
