Typing "variable" and "regex" into the stackoverflow search finds your answer. — evolutionxbox, Feb 25 '20 at 10:38

Here you can pass the variable to the regEx

let x = "cookie"; let reg = new RegExp(\\b${x}\\b,'g');

x.test("having cookie");

\b will create /\b this. and let 'g' will be added to the end of the string
