regex-flags

Does one simple thing - gets the flags from a regular expression. Useful for cloning and any library that uses or generates regular expressions that are created from other regular expressions.

If you need a "ES6 spec-compliant RegExp.prototype.flags shim, take a look at the RegExp.prototype.flags lib, from @ljharb.
