jQuery Plugin To Replace Characters While Typing - Char Replacer

Char Replacer is a simple, lightweight jQuery plugin used to replace one specific character with another while you type something into a text field. By default, the plugin will automatically replace SPACE with '-' that is great for generating SEO friendly URL slugs.

How to use it:

1. Include jQuery library and the jQuery replacer plugin on your webpage.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.charReplacer.js"></script>

2. Replace SPACE with '-'.

$("input").charReplacer();

3. Replace SPACE with '$'.

$("input").charReplacer({ replaceWith: '$' });

4. Replace one specific character with another.

$("input").charReplacer({ replaceChar: '\'', replaceWith: '\"' });

5. The plugin also supports replacing an array of characters with another.

$("#input").charReplacer({ 
  replaceChar: ["<", ">", '\n'], 
  replaceWith: ["&lt;", "&gt;", " &lt;br&gt; "] 
});
