Regular expression for a list of items separated by comma or by comma and a space

Question

Hey, I can\'t figure out how to write a regular expression for my website, I would like to let the user input a list of items (tags) separated by comma or by comma and a spa

This thread is almost 7 years old and was last active 5 months ago, but I wanted to achieve the same results as OP and after reading this thread, came across a nifty solution that seems to work well

.match(/[^,\s?]+/g)

Here's an image with some example code of how I'm using it and how it's working

Regarding the regular expression... I suppose a more accurate statement would be to say "target anything that IS NOT a comma followed by any (optional) amount of white space" ?
