Description
Same as testing-library/react-testing-library#76 which would also expose this API
Describe the feature you'd like:
Make exact match the default instead of partial case-insensitive match. Regex would be recommended for those cases instead.
- partial:
/mystring/ - case-insensitive partial:
/mystring/i - prefix:
/^mystring/ - postfix:
/mystring$/ - case-insensitive full string:
/^mystring$/i
One thing that would more involved to replicate with inline regexes is that the current implementation trims the string and replaces symbols with spaces:
- const normalizedText = textToMatch.trim().replace(/\s+/g, ' ')See testing-library/react-testing-library#74 (comment)
Suggested implementation:
I could see implementing this by exposing the final options argument to the getAllByAttribute helper to the public methods that use it so that exact: true could toggled.

Describe alternatives you've considered:
Leave the matcher alone
