replace_all_strings_in_directory_promise

Iterate all files in a directory async Replace all occurrences of a string with another string.

NO BACKUP IS TAKEN OF YOUR FILES. THIS WILL OVERWRITE ALL EXISTING FILES IN THE DIRECTORY.

How it works

It reads the directory with filestream and returns array of filenames for each filename a promise made inside a promise_all function is generated. The replacements all happen in a promise loop, this should prevent callstack errors. Once it is done it returns ana array of all modified directory+file. No report of replacements is given. But it would be easy to modify it to do so.

How to use

let replace_all_in_dir = require("./app.js")
replace_all_in_dir(
    "c:/queries/", //dont forget to make it end with '/'
    "replace string",//string that you wish to replace in all the files
    "with this tring",//string that you wish to replace the previous string with
    "utf-8"//encoding 
).then((responses)=>{
    //returns an array of dir+filename that were saved
    console.log(responses)
}).catch((err)=>{
    //what to do if something goes wrong
    console.log(err)
})
