I want to make several replacements in the same string. I have this:
ignoredids = [{"ignoredid":"3329"},{"ignoredid":"25895"}];
userlist = `<div id="u343">something</div><div id="u3143">something</div><div id="u25895">something</div><div id="u5343">something</div><div id="u3329">something</div>`;
after the replacements it should look like this:
<div id="u343">something</div><div id="u3143">something</div><div id="u25895">ignore this</div><div id="u5343">something</div><div id="u3329">ignore this</div>
So I tried:
for (let { ignoredid } of ignoredids) {
mylist = userlist.replace(`<div id="u${ignoredid}">something</div>`,`<div id="u${ignoredid}">ignore this</div>`);
}
but it doesnt seem to do anything. What is wrong?
The way you wrote it now, it will only replace on the last id and assign it to the mylist variable, because .replace does not mutate the string.
If we assign to userlist instead of mylist it will work the way you want it to work, because then we're actually modifying the string on every iteration:
ignoredids = [{"ignoredid": "3329"}, {"ignoredid": "25895"}];
userlist = `<div id="u343">something</div><div id="u3143">something</div><div id="u25895">something</div><div id="u5343">something</div><div id="u3329">something</div>`;
for (let { ignoredid} of ignoredids) {
userlist = userlist.replace(`<div id="u${ignoredid}">something</div>`, `<div id="u${ignoredid}">ignore this</div>`);
}
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = userlist;<div id="myDiv"></div>replace() with hardcoded stuff.// Helper function
const arrHas = (arr, val) => arr.some(a => val === a);
// Your stuff:
const replacer = "IGNORE THIS";
const ignoredids = [
{"ignoredid":"3329"},
{"ignoredid":"25895"},
];
const userlist = `<div id="u343">Lorem ipsum</div>
<div id="u3143">Dolor sit amet</div>
<div id="u25895">consectetur adipisicing</div>
<div id="u5343">Elit enim </div>
<div id="u3329">Nemo eveniet</div>`;
// Create an Array of "u" prefixed IDs
const uIDs = ignoredids.map(o => `u${o.ignoredid}`);
// Use DOMParser!!
const DOC = new DOMParser().parseFromString(userlist, "text/html");
[...DOC.body.children].forEach(EL => {
if (arrHas(uIDs, EL.id)) EL.textContent = replacer;
});
const result = DOC.body.innerHTML;
console.log(result)result is now this HTML-alike String:
<div id="u343">Lorem ipsum</div>
<div id="u3143">Dolor sit amet</div>
<div id="u25895">IGNORE THIS</div>
<div id="u5343">Elit enim </div>
<div id="u3329">IGNORE THIS</div>
