The RegExp ignoreCase property in JavaScript is used to specify whether the “i” modifier is set or not. If the “i” modifier is set than this property returns true otherwise returns false.

RegexObj.ignoreCase

Return Value: It returns true if i modifier is set, else false.

Example 1: This example checks if the regular expression contains i Modifier or not.

function geek() {
    let regex = new RegExp('foo', 'i');
    console.log(regex.ignoreCase);
}
geek()

Example 2: This example checks the regular expression contains i Modifier or not.

function geek() {
    let regex = /[a-d]/;
    let str =
        "GeeksforGeeks\n" +
        "is the computer\n" +
        "science portal for geeks.";
 
    if (regex.ignoreCase) {
        console.log("i Modifier is present");
    } else {
