# replace-string [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/replace-string)
|
|
|
|
> Replace all substring matches in a string
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install --save replace-string
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const replaceString = require('replace-string');
|
|
|
|
const input = 'My friend has a 🐑. I want a 🐑 too!';
|
|
|
|
replaceString(input, '🐑', '🦄');
|
|
//=> 'My friend has a 🦄. I want a 🦄 too!'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### replaceString(input, needle, replacement, [options])
|
|
|
|
Returns a new string with all `needle` matches replaced with `replacement`.
|

|

|
Type: `string` `Function`
|
|
|
|
Replacement for `needle` matches.
|
|

If a function, it receives the following arguments; the `needle`, the match count, and the `input`:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
replaceString('Foo 🐑 Bar', '🐑', (needle, matchCount, input) => `${needle}❤️`);
|
|
//=> 'Foo 🐑❤️ Bar'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### options
|
|
|
|
Type: `Object`
|
|

|
##### fromIndex
|
|
|
|
Type: `number`<br>
|
