fast-replaceall v1.0.2

fast-replaceall

Similar to String#replace(), but supports replacing multiple matches. You could achieve something similar by putting the string in a RegExp constructor with the global flag and passing it to String#replace(), but you would then have to first escape the string anyways.

Installation

npm install fast-replaceall --save

Usage

const replaceAll = require('fast-replaceall');
 
const string = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. If the dog reacted, was it really lazy?';
 
replaceAll(string, 'dog', 'monkey');
//=> 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy monkey. If the monkey reacted, was it really lazy?'

	str: string,
	substr: string,
	replacement: (match: string, offset: number, str: string) => string | any,
	options?: object
): string
