Replace multiple substrings in a string in turn.

Replace all substring matches in a string with an mapping object that is table of replaceThis: withThis, and you can provide a sequencer to decide the order of replacement.

Install

npm install --save string-multiple-replace

or

yarn add string-multiple-replace

Usage

const multiReplace = require('string-multiple-replace'); const input = "abcde"; const matcherObj = { "a": "b", "b": "c", "c": "d", "d": "e" } multiReplace(input, matcherObj, ["a", "b", "c", "d"]); // eeeee multiReplace(input, matcherObj); // bcdee

• Example-1

const multiReplace = require('string-multiple-replace'); const input = "I'm only brave when I have to be. Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."; const matcherObj = { "brave": "cowardly", "trouble": "escape" } const sequencer = ["brave", "trouble"]; multiReplace(input, matcherObj, sequencer); //I'm only cowardly when I have to be. Being cowardly doesn't mean you go looking for escape.

• Example-2

const multiReplace = require('string-multiple-replace'); const input = "I'm only brave when I have to be. Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."; const matcherObj = { "brave": "cowardly", "trouble": "escape" } multiReplace(input, matcherObj, keys => keys); //I'm only cowardly when I have to be. Being cowardly doesn't mean you go looking for escape.

API

multiReplace(input, matcherObj[,sequencer])

The original string is replaced in turn according to the matcherObj, where sequencer determines the replacement order, and the existence state of sequencer determines whether the last operation overwrites the previous operation.

Type: string

A string to be processed.

matcherObj

Type: object

Required

An object that represents a string replacement mapping.

sequencer
