# grunt-text-replace [!['Build status'][travis_image_url]][travis_page_url]

Replace text in files using strings, regexs or functions.
## Installation
In your project's [gruntfile][getting_started] directory, run:
```bash
npm install grunt-text-replace --save-dev
```
Then add this line to your project's [gruntfile][getting_started]:
```javascript
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-text-replace');
```
[grunt]: http://gruntjs.com/
[getting_started]: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/wiki/Getting-started#the-gruntfile
## Usage
```javascript
replace: {
example: {
src: ['text/*.txt'], // source files array (supports minimatch)
dest: 'build/text/', // destination directory or file
replacements: [{
from: 'Red', // string replacement
to: 'Blue'
}, {
from: /(f|F)(o{2,100})/g, // regex replacement ('Fooo' to 'Mooo')
to: 'M$2'
}, {
from: 'Foo',
to: function (matchedWord) { // callback replacement
return matchedWord + ' Bar';
}
}]
}
}
```
Here's another example using [grunt.template][grunt.template], and overwriting
original source files:
```javascript
replace: {
another_example: {
src: ['build/*.html'],
overwrite: true, // overwrite matched source files
replacements: [{
from: /[0-9]{1,2}\/[0-9]{1,2}\/[0-9]{2,4}/g,
to: "<%= grunt.template.today('dd/mm/yyyy') %>"
}]
}
}
```
## API reference
### replace
*replace* is the top level task that goes in your `grunt.initConfig({})`. It is
a [multi-task][multitask], meaning that it must contain targets, which you can
name anything you like.
[multitask]: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/wiki/Configuring-tasks#task-configuration-and-targets
### src
*src* is an array of source files to be replaced, and is required.
It supports [minimatch][minimatch] paths.
[minimatch]: https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch
### dest
*dest* is the destination for files to be replaced, and can refer to either a:
- file: `'path/output.txt'`
- directory: `'path/'`
grunt-text-replace will throw an error if multiple source files are mapped to
a single file.
### overwrite
*overwrite* should be used for in-place replacement, that is when all you need
to do is overwrite existing files.
To use it, omit *dest*, otherwise
grunt-text-replace will throw an error. You can only use one or the other.
### replacements
*replacements* is an array of *from* and *to* replacements. See the
[examples](#usage) above.
### from
*from* is the old text that you'd like replace. It can be a:
- plain string: `'Red'` *matches all instances of 'Red' in file*
- regular expression object: `/Red/g` *same as above*
### to
*to* is the replacement. It can be a:
- plain string
- string containing a [grunt.template][grunt.template]
- string containing regex variables `$1`, `$2`, etc
- combination of the above
- function where the return value will be used as the replacement text (supports
[grunt.template][grunt.template])
- any JavaScript object
#### function
Where *to* is a function, the function receives 4 parameters:
1. **matchedWord**: the matched word
2. **index**: an integer representing point where word was found in a text
3. **fullText**: the full original text
4. **regexMatches**: an array containing all regex matches, empty if none
defined or found.
```javascript
// Where the original source file text is: "Hello world"
replacements: [{
from: /wor(ld)/g,
to: function (matchedWord, index, fullText, regexMatches) {
// matchedWord: "world"
// index: 6
// fullText: "Hello world"
// regexMatches: ["ld"]
return 'planet'; //
}
}]
// The new text will now be: "Hello planet"
```
#### JavaScript object
Where *to* is a JavaScript object, type coercion will apply as follows:
1. **null**: will result in an empty string
2. **undefined**: will return in an empty string
3. **other**: all other values will use default JavaScript type coercion. Examples:
- false: 'false'
- true: 'true'
- 0: '0'
### options
*options* is an object, specific to a target, and the only supported option is
*processTemplates*
#### processTemplates
*processTemplates* when set to false (by default it is true) switches off
grunt.template processing within function return statements. It doesn't work for
string replacements (ie. when the replacement is a string, not a function), as
grunt processes templates within config string values before they are passed to
the plugin.
```javascript
replace: {
prevent_templates_example: {
src: ['text/*.txt'],
dest: 'build/text/',
options: {
processTemplates: false
},
replacements: [{
from: /url\(.*\)/g,
to: function () {
return "url(<% Don't process this template, retain the delimeters %>)";
}
}]
}
}
```

## Road map
Some changes I'm considering. Happy to receive suggestions for/against:
- **Consolidate function parameters.** This would mean replacing the 4 existing
function parameters 'matchedWord', 'index', 'fullText' and 'regexMatches' with a single
'data' object with 4 members.
- **Source/Destination paths in function callback**. The above change makes it easier to
add the source and destination paths as part of the data parameter in the function callback,
which is a requested feature.
- **Grunt 4.0 'files' and 'options'**. At some point I might move to bringing the plugin
in alignment with the Grunt 4.0 convention of having standard 'files' and 'options' objects.
## Release History
- v0.4.0 - 2014/11/23. Dropping Node 0.8 support. Rewrote internals to prevent grunt-text-replace from make file changes where none are required. This was causing people difficulty with watch tasks.
- v0.3.12 - 2014/06/03. Minor update to docs - fix to a broken link.
- v0.3.11 - 2014/02/09. Added support for non-string or function 'to' replacements.
- v0.3.10 - 2013/12/02. Removed test for no source files found, accepting a pull request to do so. It's quite reasonable that you'd specify rewrite rules for files that may, or may not exist. Let me know if removing this is a problem for you.
- v0.3.9 - 2013/10/26. Copy amends in docs
- v0.3.8 - 2013/09/22. Minor data checking issue, merged from pull request.
- v0.3.7 - 2013/08/26. Bumped grunt requirements from 0.4.0 to 0.4.1 due to [changes to path API](http://gruntjs.com/blog/2013-03-13-grunt-0.4.1-released).
- v0.3.6 - 2013/06/21. Updated links in docs, some of which were pointing to 404 pages.
- v0.3.5 - 2013/06/19. Minor clean up of docs & package.json. No functional changes since 0.3.1.
- v0.3.1 - 2013/02/18. Minor feature addition: processTemplates: false to switch off grunt templates in function return statements.
- v0.3.0 - 2013/02/17. Updated to work in Grunt 4.0. This release is not backwards compatible with grunt 0.3.x.
- v0.2.10 - 2012/12/21. Minor internal refactor to better support globally installed instances of grunt on some systems.
- v0.2.9 - 2012/11/26. Fixed issue where overwrite: true was not working where multiple src files were defined.
- v0.2.7 - 2012/11/25. Fixed issue where replacing a string globally would fail
if regex characters were present in string. This is no longer a problem.
- v0.2.5 - 2012/11/23. Function replacements now support grunt.template.
- v0.2.0 - 2012/11/21. Added tests, refactored internals, strings now replace
globally within a file, updated documentation.
- v0.1.0 - 2012/11/12. Initial release.
Patch releases will generally remain undocumented in this release history.
I'll do so if there's enough reason for it, such as a functionality tweak, or
significant bug fix. For more detail see the source.
