searchString

A string to be searched for within str. Cannot be a regex. All values that are not regexes are coerced to strings, so omitting it or passing undefined causes includes() to search for the string "undefined", which is rarely what you want.

position Optional

The position within the string at which to begin searching for searchString. (Defaults to 0.)

true if the search string is found anywhere within the given string, including when searchString is an empty string; otherwise, false.

TypeError

Thrown if searchString is a regex.

This method lets you determine whether or not a string includes another string.

The includes() method is case sensitive. For example, the following expression returns false:

"Blue Whale".includes("blue"); // returns false

You can work around this constraint by transforming both the original string and the search string to all lowercase:

"Blue Whale".toLowerCase().includes("blue"); // returns true
