Non-Sticky Regex Pass-Through

A helper that compiles JavaScript source while applying a sticky-regex transform, ensuring regex literals without the y flag stay untouched.

Capabilities

Leaves plain regex unchanged

• Transforming const re = /abc/; returns code that still contains /abc/; with no constructor wrapper. @test

Preserves other flags without stickiness

• Transforming const re = /foo/gim; keeps the literal as-is, preserving its flags without wrapping it. @test

Converts sticky regex

• Transforming const re = /bar/y; emits a constructor form that keeps the same pattern and includes the y flag. @test

Implementation
