replacestuff

Replaces strings in files. Useful creating a npm only build pipeline. Inspired by https://github.com/harthur/replace .

Strings can be replaced by other strings, environment variables and the current git version hash (SHA).

Does not follow symlinks.

Installing

npm install -g replacestuff

Using

To see all options

replacestuff --help

In-place replace:

replacestuff s1 s2 dist/**/*.html

Different output folder

replacestuff s1 s2 **/* --basedir=build --output=dist/

With replacestuff.json configuration

If there are several strings to replace, it's better to use a replacestuff.json file.

[
    { search: 'search0', replace: 'replace0' },
    { searchRegExp: 'search1', replace: 'replace1' },
    { search: 'search2', replaceVar: 'gitsha' },
    { search: 'search3', replaceEnv: 'replace3' }
]

In this example

• the string 'search' will be replaced by 'replace0'.
• strings matching the regular expression 'search1' will be replaced by 'replace1'.
• the string 'search2' will be replaced by the current git version hash.
• the string 'search3' will be replaced by the value of the environment variable 'replace3'.

Keep in mind that each replacement happens in the same order as in the replacestuff.json.
