Hey there …
The replaceAll( ) JS method is working as expected on frontend (Chrome browser), but it’s not running on the backend, I get an error variable.replaceAll() is not a function . I’ve checked the compatibility of the method on Node.js .
const text = 'A paragraph here';
const removeSpaces = text.replaceAll(' ', '');
console.log(removeSpaces);
/* Result:
Backend: text.replaceAll is not a function.
Frontend: "Aparagraphhere"
*/
As a workaround, I used the regular replace( ) JS method.
// Backend:
let text = 'A paragraph here';
While (text.includes(' ')) { text = text.replace(' ') }
Any idea why? And what can I use instead?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure, but it might be that it’s not available in nodeJS. I did a quick search and couldn’t find it in nodeJS.
Thank you for replying, what about the compatibility in the replaceAll( ) method documentation?
What is the node version on Wix servers?
Not sure about Node compatibility @ahmadnasriya , but what you can use is instead is the replace function, with a global regex. Much faster and cleaner than the while.
So for your code it would be:
text = text.replace(/ /g,'');
Thank you for the tip Chris , it’s absolutely much better, much appreciated!
@ahmadnasriya Of course man, no worries.

@ahmadnasriya If believe Wix is on Node 12 not 15
That’s good to know for the future, thank you.
