Contractions

Convert English contractions to complete words.

Uses the word list from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_English_contractions.


npm install contractions

var contractions = require('contractions');
 
console.log(contractions.expand("I don't know who ya'll are."));
// Outputs: I do not know who you all are.
 
console.log(contractions.contract("You all will have not seen this."));
// Outputs: Y'all'll'ven't seen this.

You can also use your own list of contractions / strings.

Note: Longer strings take precedent over short strings.

var Contractions = require('contractions').Contractions;
 
var contractions = new Contractions({
    'asap': 'as soon as possible', // only lower case characters should be used in the list
    'a.s.a.p.': 'as soon as possible'
});
 
 
var text = 'asap';
 
text = contractions.expand(text);
console.log(text);
// Outputs: as soon as possible
 
text = contractions.contract(text);
console.log(text);
// Outputs: a.s.a.p.
