RegEx "expressions" and defineParameterType feature file examples ?

[chrisribe]

🤔 What's the problem you're trying to solve?

I have been looking over the cucumber git repo for regex "expressions" (javascript)
defineParameterType seems interesting but I do not see any simple usage examples only unit test cases.
https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-expressions/tree/5af7076298a9c2b5455e63f1c0de90ddc9f1c1a4#javascript--typescript

✨ What's your proposed solution?

The entire ParameterTypeRegistry + defineParameterType seems a bit complex when you explore it.
Showing off how to use it in a feature file would help adoption/integration.

cucumber-expressions/javascript/src/ParameterTypeRegistry.ts

Line 50 in c1915d9

public defineParameterType(parameterType: ParameterType<unknown>) {

⛏ Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

I am currently using Regex strings directly in the feature file step definitions. I was looking here to find better ways of doing things.

📚 Any additional context?
