Small but powerful string cleanup and reduction library

It contains the following string manipulation methods:

• remove.redundant - To remove redundant words from a sentence
• remove.gibberish - To remove gibberish parts (or completely replace) from a sentence
• remove.characters - To intelligentally trim the sentence

The remove.js file contains the whole library.

You can use npm to install remove.js. Just do:

npm install remove.js

Then use it like:

var remove = require('remove');
var string = "bmgbberish This is This is a chkgbbr nice day day";
string = remove.gibberish(string) // returns "This is This is a nice day day"
string = remove.redundant(string) // returns "This is a nice day"
string = remove.characters(string, 10) // returns "This … day"

To use it in browser, simply include the file remove.js in your html

<script src="remove.js"></script>

... and use it like

var string = "bmgbberish This is This is a chkgbbr nice day day";
string = remove.gibberish(string) // returns "This is This is a nice day day"
// and so on.

remove.js also works with jQuery. If jQuery is found on the page where you have included the file, then it registers the following custom methods:

• removeRedundant() (and its short version rR())
• removeGibberish() (and its short version rG())
• removeCharacters() (and its short version rC())

All of the methods are chainable (like any other jquery method)

Here's how to convert the above mentioned example into jQuery syntax:

var strings = $(["bmgbberish This is This is a chkgbbr nice day day"]);
strings = strings.removeRedundant().removeGibberish().removeCharacters(10);
// too much typing ? try this:
strings = strings.rR().rG().rC(10)[0]; // returns "This … day"

The remove.js file is around 14 KB, but the minified is only 3.75 KB and the gzipped minified is even smaller (1.64 KB).

All the methods are documented inline and a nice docco view can be found here

Certain Limitations:

• The redundant detection logic is not that great. It can be improved a lot.
• The same goes for gibberish detection logic. But in this case, improving it further is really challenging.
