Empty RegExp causes crash

[samhh]

The following code is causing a crash/hang:

import strReplaceAsArr from 'string-replace-to-array'

const addHighlightMarkup = ({ str, textFilter }) =>
  strReplaceAsArr(
    str,
    new RegExp(textFilter, 'ig'),
    match => <span className="highlighted-text">{match}</span>
  )

...when textFilter is an empty string. This behaviour is inconsistent with String.prototype.replace which will accept/ignore an empty string.

Thank you @samhh! I will probably look into this later today.

Great catch! This is now fixed (#3). v1.0.3 has been published.
