Node Text

This package is a collection of utilities for manipulating text.

Installation

Use npm install text or add text to a folder in your NODE_PATH.

API

Encoding

encode64(str)

Return str encoded using a standard base64 alphabet.

decode64(str)

Return the standard base64 decoding of str.

urlsafeEncode64(str)

Like encode64, but uses -_ instead of +/ to make the result url-safe.

urlsafeDecode64(str)

Like decode64, but assumes the encoding uses -_ instead of +/.

Manipulation

splitLines(str)

Return an array of lines in str without trailing line delimitors.

wrap(str, [soft=70, hard])

Break str into segments along word boundaries. Return the segments in an array. Usually, each segment is no longer than soft characters. If there are no word breaks and hard is set, the long word will be split into segments that are no longer than hard characters. If hard is not set, long words are not broken.

fill(str, [soft=70, hard, glue])

This is a shortcut for wrap(str, soft, hard).join(glue). By default, glue is a newline.

atMost(str, [soft=70, hard, pattern="\s"])

Return the largest substring of str terminated by pattern that's no longer than soft characters. By default, pattern is any space character. If a hard limit is given, the result will be no longer than hard characters, even if pattern isn't found.

Compatibility

Node Text has been tested with Node.JS version 0.1.103.
