I tried this : Replace multiple strings at once And this : javascript replace globally with array how ever they are not working.
Can I do similar to this (its PHP):
$a = array('a','o','e');
$b = array('1','2','3');
str_replace($a,$b,'stackoverflow');
This result will be :

I want to use regex at the same time. How can I do that ? Thank you.
var str = "I have a cat, a dog, and a goat.";
var mapObj = {
cat:"dog",
dog:"goat",
goat:"cat"
};
str = str.replace(/cat|dog|goat/gi, function(matched){
return mapObj[matched];
});
One possible solution:
var a = ['a','o','e'],
b = ['1','2','3'];
'stackoverflow'.replace(new RegExp(a.join('|'), 'g'), function(c) {
return b[a.indexOf(c)];
});
As per the comment from @Stephen M. Harris, here is another more fool-proof solution:
'stackoverflow'.replace(new RegExp(a.map(function(x) {
return x.replace(/[-\/\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\$&');
}).join('|'), 'g'), function(c) {
return b[a.indexOf(c)];
});
N.B.: Check the browser compatibility for indexOf method and use polyfill if required.
You can use delimiters and replace a part of the string
var obj = {
'firstname': 'John',
'lastname': 'Doe'
}
var text = "My firstname is {firstname} and my lastname is {lastname}"
console.log(mutliStringReplace(obj,text))
function mutliStringReplace(object, string) {
var val = string
var entries = Object.entries(object);
entries.filter((para)=> {
var find = '{' + para[0] + '}'
var regExp = new RegExp(find,'g')
val = val.replace(regExp, para[1])
})
return val;
}
