unicorn/prefer-string-replace-all

Require replaceAll() instead of replace() with a global regex

fixable

replace() only replaces every match if the regex has the g flag, and one letter at the end of a pattern is easy to miss. replaceAll() says it in the name.

The rule also reports a regex passed to replaceAll() when it only matches one fixed string, because a plain string does the same thing and doesn't need escaping.

--fix renames the method, and turns the regex into a string when it matches one fixed string.

Configure#

Off by default. To turn it on:
