Pattern: Global string replacement with replace()

Issue: -

Description

The replaceAll() method provides a safer and more efficient way to replace all occurrences of a pattern compared to using replace() with a global regex. It's clearer in intent and doesn't require regex escape handling for string patterns.

Examples

Example of incorrect code:

string.replace(/foo/g, 'bar');
string.replace(new RegExp(pattern, 'g'), 'bar');

Example of correct code:

string.replaceAll('foo', 'bar');
string.replaceAll(/foo/, 'bar');
