How to excute correct "sed" command in shelljs?

Question

I am using shelljs to excute shell command to find and replace content in my configuration file. My configuration is file content like bellow, I want to find all string "" by the name of my clinic (This is a parameter that i passed from the client like: var clinicName = req.body.clinicName;)

version: '3.2'
services:
  # core backend service
  core-backend:
    image: "vany/multi-tenant-core:latest"
    deploy:
      replicas: 1
      placement:
        constraints: [node.labels.tenant==multi-tenant]
      restart_policy:
        condition: any
    labels:
      collectord.io/logs-eventpattern: '^\['
    environment:
      PORT: 5000
      NODE_ENV: 'production'
      DATABASE: 'mongodb://<tclinic-name>:[email protected]:27017/<tclinic-name>?authSource=<tclinic-name>'
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
#volumes:   
#  media-upload:
#    driver: lizardfs

If I using manual command like this, the result is correct.

sed -i "s/<tclinic-name>/hanoitclinic/g" clinic-api-core.yml

The result will be correct like this:

version: '3.2'
services:
  # core backend service
  core-backend:
    image: "vany/multi-tenant-core:latest"
    deploy:
      replicas: 1
      placement:
        constraints: [node.labels.tenant==multi-tenant]
      restart_policy:
        condition: any
    labels:
      collectord.io/logs-eventpattern: '^\['
    environment:
      PORT: 5000
      NODE_ENV: 'production'
      DATABASE: **'mongodb://hanoitclinic:[email protected]:27017//hanoitclinic?authSource=hanoitclinic'**
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
#volumes:   
#  media-upload:
#    driver: lizardfs

But if I using shelljs, the code like this (with clinicName = "hanoitclinic" that I pass from client

 var shell = require('shelljs');
shell.sed('-i', '<tclinic-name>', clinicName, "clinic-api-core.yml");

The result is not correct, it's only replace once:

 DATABASE: 'mongodb://hanoitclinic:[email protected]:27017/<tclinic-name>?authSource=<tclinic-name>'

Please take a look. Thanks

According to example in the ShellJS documentation - and here - for

sed([options,] search_regex, replacement, file [, file ...])

the search_regex can be a normal replace() regexp so I'd suggest using the global flag:

shell.sed('-i', /<tclinic-name>/g, clinicName, "aibolit-api-core.yml");
