replace_every_nonrecursive

Note

This is a point-in-time snapshot of the API documentation from January 2026. Going forward, we will not be maintaining a public copy of these references, and recommend users to refer to the built-in signature helpers available in the Hack LSP instead for complete and up-to-date information.

Returns the "haystack" string with all occurrences of the keys of $replacements replaced by the corresponding values

namespace HH\Lib\Str;

function replace_every_nonrecursive(
  string $haystack,
  KeyedContainer<string, string> $replacements,
): string;

Once a substring has been replaced, its new value will not be searched again.

If there are multiple overlapping matches, the match occuring earlier in $haystack takes precedence. If a replacer is a prefix of another (like "car" and "carpet"), the longer one (carpet) takes precedence. The ordering of $replacements therefore doesn't matter.

  • For having new values searched again, see Str\replace_every().
