Hoist RegExp Creation

Don't create RegExp inside render. Hoist to module scope or memoize with useMemo().

Incorrect (new RegExp every render):

function Highlighter({ text, query }: Props) {
  const regex = new RegExp(`(${query})`, 'gi')
  const parts = text.split(regex)
  return <>{parts.map((part, i) => ...)}</>
}

Correct (memoize or hoist):

const EMAIL_REGEX = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/
