Javascript error when using divStyle.match

Question

var values = divStyle.match( /-?[\d\.]+/g );

The above code is giving me an error when I run yarn build.

error: unnecessary escape character: \. no-useless-escape

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

As already answered here: Does a dot have to be escaped in a character class (square brackets) of a regular expression?

In a character class (square brackets) any character except ^, -, ] or \ is a literal.

So in your case simply do not escape the dot:

var values = divStyle.match( /-?[\d.]+/g );
