Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reviewing the hyperscript documentation for regular-expression support and the JavaScript interop example in the issue; done means documenting whether an HS-native form exists and how to use it, or clearly stating the supported alternative.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I want to sanitize the input value, I made this work:

    js 
      const regex = /[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/g
      return {regex}
    end

    on input 
      set my value to my value.replace(regex, '')
    end

I was wondering how can I avoid having to define the regex in JS and put it directly in HS, I didn't find any reference on RegExp on the documentation
