hashtag

Package hashtag implements extraction of Twitter type hashtags, mentions and replies form text in Go. This package partially ports extraction routines from Twitter's official Java package to Go and runs most of the standard twitter-text conformance tests. It does not yet implement URL extraction (and hence URL/Hashtag overlaps), cashtags and lists

Since the package attempts to closely follow the Twitter-Text Java API, function names may be longer than typical Go package function names

Installation

Note: As the package matures, I plan to move this to gopkg.in

go get github.com/srinathh/hashtag

Usage

Import the package as

import "github.com/srinathh/hashtag"

This package supports the following functions to extract hashtags and mentions with or without position markers. The functions omit # and @ characters (and also their higher unicode number counterparts ＠ and ＃) from return values

• ExtractHashtags(text string) []string
• ExtractHashtagsWithIndices(text string) []Entity
• ExtractMentions(text string) []string
• ExtractMentionsWithIndices(text string) []Entity
• ExtractReply(text string) string
