Checks if a string contains a substring, case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
- Use the `RegExp` constructor with the `'i'` flag to create a regular expression, that matches the given `searchString`, ignoring the case.
|
|
- Use `RegExp.prototype.test()` to check if the string contains the substring.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const includesCaseInsensitive = (str, searchString) =>
|
|
new RegExp(searchString, 'i').test(str);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
includesCaseInsensitive('Blue Whale', 'blue'); // true
|
|
```
