TypeScript - integer regular expression

In this short article, we would like to show how in a simple way check if the text is an integer number using regular expressions in TypeScript.

Quick solution:

const expression: RegExp = /^[+-]?\d+$/;

const isInteger = (text: string): boolean => !!text.match(expression);


// Usage example:

console.log(isInteger('123'));      // true
console.log(isInteger('-123'));     // true
console.log(isInteger('+123'));     // true
console.error(isInteger('3.14'));   // false
console.error(isInteger('abc'));    // false
console.error(isInteger('a123b'));  // false
