regexp.escape 
A robust & optimized ES3-compatible polyfill for the RegExp.escape proposal for ECMAScript 7.
Use it to safely escape RegExp special tokens for use in new RegExp.
Use it as a standalone function, or call its shim method to install it as a polyfill.
Example
var escape = require('regexp.escape');
var assert = require('assert');
var str = 'hello. how are you?';
var regex = new RegExp(escape(str), 'g');
assert.equal(String(regex), '/hello\. how are you\?/g');
Tests
