string replace can take functions code example
Example 1: replace all occurrences of a string in javascript
const p = 'dog dog cat rat';
const regex = /dog/gi;
console.log(p.replace(regex, 'cow'));
//if pattern is regular expression all matches will be replaced
//output: "cow cow cat rat"
Example 2: javascript string replace
const p = 'Its going to rain today and its going to rain tomorrow';
// Example of replacing all occurrances
// g = global search, which searches all instances
// i = case insensitive, which will match 'a' with 'A'
const regex = /rain/gi;
console.log(p.replace(regex, 'snow'));
// expected output: "Its going to snow today and its going to snow tomorrow"
// Example of replacing the first occurance
console.log(p.replace('rain', 'snow'));
// expected output: "Its going to snow today and its going to rain tomorrow"
