Is there a way in JavaScript to match the string against the array of regular expressions?
I need something like this:
xxxxxxxxxx1
var expressions = ['/expression1/', '/expression2/', '/expression3/'];2
3
var text = 'String containing expression2';4
5
if (matchInArray(text, expressions)) {6
// do something...7

You can use Array some() method combined with RegExp test() to get a boolean value which you can later use in the if statement.
xxxxxxxxxx1
const expressions = [/expression1/, /expression2/];2
3
const text = 'String containing expression2.';4
5
const result = expressions.some((regex) => regex.test(text));6
7
console.log(result); // trueES5 alternative:
xxxxxxxxxx1
var expressions = [/expression1/, /expression2/];2
3
var text = 'String containing expression2.';4
5
var result = expressions.some(function(regex) {6
return regex.test(text);7
});8
9
console.log(result); // true
