匹配正则表达式，JavaScript中不同的url开始

Question

A bit confused with regex.

Url string can be either '/item/new/url/bla/..' or '/#item/url/bla/bla/..'

I need a regex to check start of the string. In pseudo code it can be described as:

(both "/#item/" or "/item/" at the start of a string should be true).test(url)

Answer 1

/^\/#?item\//.test('/#item/new/url/bla/'); // true
/^\/#?item\//.test('/item/new/url/bla/'); // true
