sensitive help
2. Frontend code written in ReactJS
3. Backend code written in Java, Spring Boot Framework
4. Frontend Start:
        pre-requisites : node, npm
	npm run dev  ==> to start the frontend vite server
5. Backend Start:
	pre-requisites : java, mvn
        mvn spring-boot:run  ==> to start the backend server

## What is this?
This package is a utility that lets you find patterns (`string`, `RegExp`) in
text and replace them with nodes.
## When should I use this?
This utility is typically useful when you have regexes and want to modify mdast.
One example is when you have some form of “mentions” (such as
`/@([a-z][_a-z0-9])\b/gi`) and want to create links to persons from them.
A similar package, [`hast-util-find-and-replace`][hast-util-find-and-replace]
does the same but on [hast][].
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install mdast-util-find-and-replace
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```js
import {findAndReplace} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-find-and-replace@3'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
<script type="module">
import {findAndReplace} from 'https://esm.sh/mdast-util-find-and-replace@3?bundle'
</script>
```
## Use
```js
import {findAndReplace} from 'mdast-util-find-and-replace'
import {u} from 'unist-builder'
import {inspect} from 'unist-util-inspect'
const tree = u('paragraph', [
u('text', 'Some '),
u('emphasis', [u('text', 'emphasis')]),
u('text', ' and '),
u('strong', [u('text', 'importance')]),
u('text', '.')
])
findAndReplace(tree, [
[/and/gi, 'or'],
[/emphasis/gi, 'em'],
[/importance/gi, 'strong'],
[
/Some/g,
function ($0) {
return u('link', {url: '//example.com#' + $0}, [u('text', $0)])
}
]
])
console.log(inspect(tree))
```
Yields:
```txt
paragraph[8]
├─0 link[1]
│ │ url: "//example.com#Some"
│ └─0 text "Some"
├─1 text " "
├─2 emphasis[1]
│ └─0 text "em"
├─3 text " "
├─4 text "or"
├─5 text " "
├─6 strong[1]
│ └─0 text "strong"
└─7 text "."
```
## API
This package exports the identifier [`findAndReplace`][api-find-and-replace].
There is no default export.
### `findAndReplace(tree, list[, options])`
Find patterns in a tree and replace them.
The algorithm searches the tree in *[preorder][]* for complete values in
[`Text`][text] nodes.
Partial matches are not supported.
###### Parameters
* `tree` ([`Node`][node])
— tree to change
* `list` ([`FindAndReplaceList`][api-find-and-replace-list] or
[`FindAndReplaceTuple`][api-find-and-replace-tuple])
— one or more find-and-replace pairs
* `options` ([`Options`][api-options])
— configuration
###### Returns
Nothing (`undefined`).
### `Find`
Pattern to find (TypeScript type).
Strings are escaped and then turned into global expressions.
###### Type
```ts
type Find = RegExp | string
```
### `FindAndReplaceList`
Several find and replaces, in array form (TypeScript type).
###### Type
```ts
type FindAndReplaceList = Array<FindAndReplaceTuple>
```
See [`FindAndReplaceTuple`][api-find-and-replace-tuple].
### `FindAndReplaceTuple`
Find and replace in tuple form (TypeScript type).
###### Type
```ts
type FindAndReplaceTuple = [Find, Replace?]
```
See [`Find`][api-find] and [`Replace`][api-replace].
### `Options`
Configuration (TypeScript type).
###### Fields
* `ignore` ([`Test`][test], optional)
— test for which elements to ignore
### `RegExpMatchObject`
Info on the match (TypeScript type).
###### Fields
* `index` (`number`)
— the index of the search at which the result was found
* `input` (`string`)
— a copy of the search string in the text node
* `stack` ([`Array<Node>`][node])
— all ancestors of the text node, where the last node is the text itself
### `Replace`
Thing to replace with (TypeScript type).
###### Type
```ts
type Replace = ReplaceFunction | string
```
See [`ReplaceFunction`][api-replace-function].
### `ReplaceFunction`
Callback called when a search matches (TypeScript type).
###### Parameters
The parameters are the result of corresponding search expression:
* `value` (`string`)
— whole match
* `...capture` (`Array<string>`)
— matches from regex capture groups
* `match` ([`RegExpMatchObject`][api-regexp-match-object])
— info on the match
###### Returns
Thing to replace with:
* when `null`, `undefined`, `''`, remove the match
* …or when `false`, do not replace at all
* …or when `string`, replace with a text node of that value
* …or when `Node` or `Array<Node>`, replace with those nodes
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional types [`Find`][api-find],
[`FindAndReplaceList`][api-find-and-replace-list],
[`FindAndReplaceTuple`][api-find-and-replace-tuple],
[`Options`][api-options],
[`RegExpMatchObject`][api-regexp-match-object],
[`Replace`][api-replace], and
[`ReplaceFunction`][api-replace-function].
## Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
`mdast-util-find-and-replace@^3`, compatible with Node.js 16.
## Security
Use of `mdast-util-find-and-replace` does not involve [hast][] or user content
so there are no openings for [cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attacks.
