usage
async-replace have the same api as the callback-version of String.prototype.replace
but instead of returning the changed data another callback is called, making it possible to do asynchronous stuff in the callback.
This may sound more complicated than it is, so let's look at an example.
Above is an example of using String.prototype.replace
with a callback. The above could then be written in async-replace like this
// or const asyncReplace = require('async-replace-promise'); { const replacer = { // p1 is nondigits, p2 digits, and p3 non-alphanumerics return { ; } } try const result = await console; // will print 'abc - 12345 - #$*%'; catch err console }
