What is replace?

The 'replace' npm package is a utility for performing search and replace operations on files. It allows you to replace text in files using a simple API, making it useful for tasks such as updating configuration files, modifying source code, or performing batch text replacements.

What are replace's main functionalities?

Basic Text Replacement

This feature allows you to replace occurrences of a specified string (in this case, 'foo') with another string ('bar') in the specified file ('file.txt'). The 'recursive' option allows the operation to be performed in all files within the specified directory, and 'silent' suppresses the output.

const replace = require('replace');

replace({
  regex: 'foo',
  replacement: 'bar',
  paths: ['file.txt'],
  recursive: true,
  silent: true
});

Regular Expression Replacement

This feature allows you to use regular expressions for more complex search patterns. In this example, any string matching the pattern 'foo' followed by one or more digits will be replaced with 'bar'.

const replace = require('replace');

replace({
  regex: /foo\d+/g,
  replacement: 'bar',
  paths: ['file.txt'],
  recursive: true,
  silent: true
});

Replacement with Function

This feature allows you to use a function to determine the replacement text. In this example, any occurrence of 'foo' will be replaced with its uppercase version.

const replace = require('replace');

replace({
  regex: 'foo',
  replacement: (match) => match.toUpperCase(),
  paths: ['file.txt'],
  recursive: true,
  silent: true
});
