regex-map-replace

Run a text string through an array of individual match-replace regular expressions.

Overview

This is a simple npm module built to clean up text strings. It's a single function that takes two parameters: str and map. str is a string of text. map is an array of objects, each with two properties: match and replace. These two properties are a dictionary, with match being the actual regular expression for your desired matching substring; replace being a string you want to replace it with.

Installation

$ npm install regex-map-replace

Example

var regexMapReplace = require('regex-map-replace');

var map = [{
    match: /Lorum/,
    replace: 'Lorem'
},{
    match: /doler/,
    replace: 'dolor'
},{
    match: /amit/,
    replace: 'amet'
}];

var test = regexMapReplace('Lorum ipsum doler sit amit.', map);

console.log(test);
// Expected result: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.'
