dhershman1 / replaceit

passes through files and replaces strings based on regex

Info

Goes through files and replaces determined text, currently does not support symbolic links however.

How To

Install with npm

npm i replaceit

Run unit tests with npm test make sure you either do an npm i inside pathit or install mocha and chai before hand since the tests require these modules.

To use Replaceify simply require it and use it as a function

const replaceit = require('replaceit');
replaceit({
    path: 'Path/To/Your/File',
    regex: 'Regex String',
    replacement: 'Replace string or Object',
    async: true, //defaults to true
    loop: false //defaults to false, if true replaceit will loop directories if the path given is a directory
    })

replacement accepts both a string or an object of strings. For example:

{
    'valuetomatch': 'valuetoreplaceitwith'
}

This can be as long as you want, and if your regex finds a match that match will be used to find the property of the object and replace it with that value.
