replaceall

What is replaceall?

The replaceall npm package is a simple utility for replacing all instances of a substring within a string. It provides a straightforward API to perform global replacements without the need for regular expressions.

What are replaceall's main functionalities?

Basic Replacement

This feature allows you to replace all occurrences of a substring with another substring. In this example, all instances of 'foo' are replaced with 'bar'.

const replaceall = require('replaceall');
const result = replaceall('foo', 'bar', 'foo is foo');
console.log(result); // 'bar is bar'

Case Sensitive Replacement

This feature performs case-sensitive replacements. Only the exact matches of the substring will be replaced. In this example, only 'Foo' is replaced with 'bar', while 'foo' remains unchanged.

const replaceall = require('replaceall');
const result = replaceall('Foo', 'bar', 'Foo is foo');
console.log(result); // 'bar is foo'

Replacing Special Characters

This feature allows you to replace special characters within a string. In this example, all instances of '?' are replaced with '!'.

const replaceall = require('replaceall');
const result = replaceall('?', '!', 'Hello? How are you?');
console.log(result); // 'Hello! How are you!'
