TIL Replace Only Fixes the First Encounter

POSTED ON: Sep 06, 2022

const petName = 'Leo'

const placeholder = '{NAME}'

const reminderTemplate = '{NAME} is due for another visit. Please call us so we can set up a new appointment. We look forward to seeing you and {NAME} soon.'

const reminder = reminderTemplate.replaceAll(placeholder, petName)
