Replace html string to img tag with pure javascript

Question

I want javascript to do this:

According the word that is in the div, i want the string be replaced with a img tag.

if i have

<div id="example" style="align-content: right; text-align: right">abc</div> 

with `

<div id="example" style="align-content: right; text-align: right"><img src="example123.html"></div>`

But only if inside the div is the text/string "abc"

Another case, if i have

<div id="example" style="align-content: right; text-align: right">def</div>

i want to convert into this

<div id="example" style="align-content: right; text-align: right"><img src="anotherexample.html"></div>

As the similar of the 1st case, replace with another img in case of the text be "def".

I have done this with jquery,

This was my code done in jquery

$("#example:contains('abc')").html(function (_, html) {return html.replace(/abc/g, "<img src=example123.html>")});

$("#example:contains('def')").html(function (_, html) {return html.replace(/def/g, "<img src=anotherexample.html>")});

It was easy to do, but i have some problems using jquery in my work, so i can't and i shouldn't use jquery or another framework. It would be great if it was done in pure javascript.

I almost forgot that it would be great using conditionals, specially swith, i think using switch instead of if else could be less tangled

Thanks in advance for your answers.

PD: if you ask me why i need to solve this, the reason is that i am using an application that generates pdf files extracting the data from a DB, and according to the text, replace with the pics with a specific URL.

Answer 1

Because you're using an element with a particular id , it's unique - all you need to do is select that element and check to see if its innerHTML includes the string you're looking for. You could use a regular expression to replace all instances of abc or def with the appropriate tag:

 const example = document.querySelector('#example'); const srcs = { abc: 'example123', def: 'anotherexample' }; example.innerHTML = example.innerHTML.replace( /abc|def/g, prop => `<img src="${srcs[prop]}">` ); 

 <div id="example" style="align-content: right; text-align: right">before abc after</div> 

Answer 2

Try this. It iterates over all the div elements and checks their text using textContent .If it matches it replaces the text with image tag using innerHTML

 var a = document.querySelectorAll('div'); a.forEach((e) => { if (e.textContent == "abc") e.innerHTML = "<img src='example123.com'>" if(e.textContent == "def") e.innerHTML = "<img src='anotherexample.com'>" }) 

 <div id="example" style="align-content: right; text-align: right">abc</div> <div id="example" style="align-content: right; text-align: right">def</div>
