How to do case insensitive replace all with JavaScript?
To do case insensitive replace all with JavaScript, we can use a regex.
For instance, we write
const searchMask = "is";
const regEx = new RegExp(searchMask, "ig");
const replaceMask = "as";
const result = "This iS IIS".replace(regEx, replaceMask);
to create a regex with the RegExp constructor.
searchMask is the pattern we’re looking to replace.
i makes the regex match in a case insensitive manner.
g makes the regex search for all matches of the pattern.
Then we call replace with regEx and the replaceMask that we want to replace the matched strings with.
Conclusion
