Install

Basic Usage

ES6

Node Modules

API

  • kontractions.contract(string): Converts a string containing longforms to a string containing contractions.
  • kontractions.expand(string): Converts a string containing contractions to a string containing longforms, or the various possible longforms.
  • kontractions.updateContractions(object): Accepts an object and can be used for extending, modifying, or disabling the built-in default contractions.
  • kontractions.updateLongforms(object): Accepts an object and can be used for extending, modifying, or disabling the built-in default longforms.

Examples

  • kontractions.contract("I did not do it.") //=> i didn't do it.
  • kontractions.expand("I didn't do it.") //=> i did not do it.
  • kontractions.expand("I hope there's more food.") //=> i hope (( there has || there is )) more food.
  • kontractions.updateContractions({"they'd've": ['they would have']}) //=> The contraction they'd've will now be recognized when using the contract method.
  • kontractions.updateLongforms({"they would have": "they'd've"}) //=> The longform they would have will now be recognized when using the expand method.
  • kontractions.updateContractions({"they'd've": ['they would have']}) //=> Pass a falsy value to disable a contraction.
  • kontractions.updateLongforms({"they would have": false}) //=> Pass a falsy value to disable a longform.

Defaults

Philosophy

This library aims to one thing and do it well. With regards to the expand method, while it would be possible to examine the context in which contractions are used to determine the proper expansion, that will likely remain beyond the scope of this package. Therefore, consumers will need to implement their own logic to examine the output and pick the correct expansion.
