I'm trying to clean up a string (URL). I need that every time it contains ipfs://ipfs/ to replace it by a single ipfs/.
The full string is ipfs://ipfs/QmR6xjBCn
but it should be ipfs://QmR6xjBCn
In some cases I get string that are already clean, in other cases I dont'.
I've used include to detect if the string contained ipfs://ipfs and then replaced it for what I needed: ipfs://
if (fixedURL.includes('ipfs://ipfs')) {
fixedURL2 = fixedURL.replace('ipfs://ipfs','ipfs://')
obj.imageUrl = fixedURL2;
} else {
obj.imageUrl = fixedURL;
}
Use the replace() function. If the text is not in the string then it won't replace anything. So it only works when the double ipfs is there.
let str;
// example one
str = "ipfs://ipfs/QmR6xjBCn";
str = str.replace("ipfs://ipfs/","ipfs://");
console.log(str);
// example two, same code different url
str = "ipfs://SomethingRandom";
str = str.replace("ipfs://ipfs/","ipfs://");
console.log(str);
