can't return regex as string due to serialization

[Chathula]

\d{3}(-?|\s?)\d{3}

I tried to return the above regex. but it always replaces \ with \\. is there any way to prevent that? in the server console, it prints out the correct response. but when I check it using GraphiQL. it doesn't show what I expected. I save this value in DB as a regex. and then when returning I do this. new RegExp(/\d{3}(-?|\s?)\d{3}/).toString()

any solution for this?

@Chathula Both JSON and Node's inspect add slash but it doesn't exist in string itself and you can check this using console.log:

new RegExp(/\d{3}(-?|\s?)\d{3}/).toString()
// '/\\d{3}(-?|\\s?)\\d{3}/'

console.log(new RegExp(/\d{3}(-?|\s?)\d{3}/).toString())
// /\d{3}(-?|\s?)\d{3}/
