# Match all occurrences in string and replace it

Finds all occurrences in the string for given regex and replaces the value with a new string (using callback function).

## Install

```bash

npm install match-replace-all

```

## Usage

- Create a new RegExp object with `global` and `multiline` option.

- Provide a callback that will receive match array and return a new string that will replace the **original string**.

- Callback can return `false` to skip replacement.

- If the new value is same as original, no replacement is done.

```javascript

import matchReplaceAll from 'match-replace-all'

const regex = new RegExp(']*)>([^<]+)', 'gm')

const string = 'testing first second'

// Add href attribute to link with the links value

const newString = matchReplaceAll(regex, string, (match) => {

        const value = match[2]

        const attributes = match[1]

        return `${value}`

    })

console.log(newString)

``` 

Result:

```bash

Result: testing first second

```
