The replace()
method can be used in a TypeScript string to replace a particular substring or a match (regular expression) in a string. All we need to do is pass the substring or regular expression of the substring we want to replace.
string.replace(substring|regex, replacement)
substring
: This is the substring of a string string
that we want to replace.regex
: This is used as a regular expression to match the substring we want to replace.replacement
: This is what we want to use as a replacement to the regex
or substring
.The value returned is a new string.
