[javascript] Matching exact string with JavaScript

Either modify the pattern beforehand so that it only matches the entire string:

var r = /^a$/

or check afterward whether the pattern matched the whole string:

function matchExact(r, str) {
   var match = str.match(r);
   return match && str === match[0];
}
