node-cli-replace
This tool allows you to replace a given query
with whatever you want in a file or files.
Install
yarn global add node-cli-replace
Usage
Navigate to the folder where you want to conduct the replace. Then run the following:
node-cli-replace -q __value__ -v foo -f file.ts -i node_modules
This command will replace the text __value__
with foo
.
input
const file = "__value__";
output
const file = "foo";
If you omit the -v
argument, it will remove the value instead of replace it.
Example:
node-cli-replace -q __value__ -f file.ts -i node_modules
input
const file = "__value__";
output
const file = "";
Per line
You can add -l
flag to change the behaviour to a per-line basis.
Example:
node-cli-replace -q TEST_VALUE= -v NEW_KEY=foo -f prod.env -i node_modules -l
input
TEST_VALUE1=testvalue1
TEST_VALUE=testvalue
output
TEST_VALUE1=testvalue1
NEW_KEY=foo
And if you omit the -v
argument, it will remove that line instead.
Example:
node-cli-replace -q TEST_VALUE= -f prod.env -i node_modules -l
input
TEST_VALUE1=testvalue1
TEST_VALUE=testvalue
output
TEST_VALUE1=testvalue1
