Since ES9, there's now a simpler, better way of getting all the matches, together with information about the capture groups, and their index:

const string = 'Mice like to dice rice';
const regex = /.ice/gu;
for(const match of string.matchAll(regex)) {
    console.log(match);
}

// ["mice", index: 0, input: "mice like to dice rice", groups: undefined]

// ["dice", index: 13, input: "mice like to dice rice", groups: undefined]

// ["rice", index: 18, input: "mice like to dice rice", groups: undefined]
