A tiny & simple package for your chat application that allows you to remove or censor bad words in chat.

Check message

This function takes your message as argument and checks, if it includes a bad word. As result it returns either true or false.

const censoring = require('chat-censoring');

const isInsult = censoring.check('You are great!');
console.log(isInsult); // Prints false

const isInsult = censoring.check('You are fucking stupid!');
console.log(isInsult); // Prints true

Censor message

This function checks if there is a bad word in your provided message and replaces this word(s) with the character of your choise.

Parameter:

Parameter Usage
message The message you want to check and censor if needed
censoringChar The char you want to use to censor bad words

const censoring = require('chat-censoring');

const friendlyMessage = censoring.censorMessage('This is fucking cool!', '*');

[Deprecated] Discord.js example

This package was created with the motivation to censor chat messages in Discord. Of course it can be used in other applications as well

Here is an example how you can use it for your Discord bot:

if(message.author.bot) return;

	if(!content.startsWith(prefix)) {

		if(censor.checkMessage(content)) {
			message.delete()
				.then(() => message.channel.send(`${message.author} said: ${censor.censorMessage(content, '#')}`))
				.catch(err => {
					console.log('An error occurred while censoring a message: ' + err);
					return message.channel.send('Unfortunately an error has occurred :(');
				});
		}
		return;
	}
