Replace part of an attribute value

I have a page with the following div

<div class="info" attribute-one="value one" attribute-two="value two" json="see below"></div>

The json attribute is populated with a compressed JSON string like

{
  "serviceContext": "\/",
  "state": "READY",
  "url": "http://domain.com/some-url.extension",
  "zoomedPageWidth": 768,
  "hits": [

  ],
  "httpContentLoaded": 0,
  "resource": "\/session\/zc7d2c08-90d8-4b2d-97f8-a455b28c4e7d\/",
  "httpContentLength": 660032
}

Now I want to replace the resource parameter in the JSON string, from:

"resource": "\/session\/bc7d2c28-90d9-4b2d-97f8-a455b28c4e7d\/",

to

"resource": "http:\/\/domain.com\/page\/session\/bc7d2c28-90d9-4b2d-97f8-a455b28c4e7d\/",

But I don't know how to do this with regular expressions in JavaScript. Anyone enough to help me with this?

What I would do is skip the regex and parse as JSON:

var jsonObject = JSON.parse(theJsonString);
jsonObject.resource = "http://domain.com/page" + jsonObject.resource;
theJsonString = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);


You need to put theJsonString

in an element.

You can use some JQuery and JOSN functions

Look at this violin

HTML:



<div id="test" json='{"serviceContext": "\/", "state": "READY","url": "http://domain.com/some-url.extension","zoomedPageWidth": 768,"hits": [],"httpContentLoaded": 0,"resource":"\/session\/zc7d2c08-90d8-4b2d-97f8-a455b28c4e7d\/","httpContentLength": 660032}'></div>

and JS:

var testElement = $('#test'),
    a = testElement.attr('json');
    o = JSON.parse(a);

o.resource = 'http://domain.com/page/session' + o.resource;
testElement.attr('json', JSON.stringify(o));
