let text = 'first id: and second id:'
text = text.replace(/id:/g, '_xid:');
console.log(text)

string.replace(/id:/g, '/_xid:/') can't find anything as the '/' chars are considered the opening and closing of a regex.

Try 

str.replace(/\/id:\//g, '/_xid:/')

to escape '\' char.

Try this:

String.prototype.replaceAll = function (search, replacement) {
    const target = this
    return target.replace(new RegExp(search, 'g'), replacement)
}

string.replaceAll('id', '_xid')
