Javascript – Regex with OR condition

I have to create a regex to match exact string – /op , /kl , /xz

Individual Regex works:

  • new RegExp(‘/op’).test("/op")
  • new RegExp(‘/kl’).test("/kl")
  • new RegExp(‘/xz’).test("/xz")

How to merge this check into 1 Regex ?

I tried new RegExp('(/op) | (/xz)').test("/op") but it gives false

    new RegExp('^\/(op|kl|xz)$') did the trick to match exact pattern.

    According to regex101.com, this works:

    //(op|kl|xy)/g

    With the long version being:

    new RegExp('\/(op|kl|xy)', 'g')
