> Escape RegExp special characters
## Install
```
$ npm install escape-string-regexp
```
## Usage
```js
const escapeStringRegexp = require('escape-string-regexp');
const escapedString = escapeStringRegexp('How much $ for a 🦄?');

You can also use this to escape a string that is inserted into the middle of a regex, for example, into a character class.
