🤖 Features

• 🐔 works for strings and arrays

🕵🏼 Usage

Install it by executing:

npm i '@igor.dvlpr/scramble'

---

🤹🏼 API

scrambleString(input: string, options?: IStringOptions): string

Scrambles the characters of each word in a given string.

input - The string to be scrambled.

[!NOTE] Since Fisher-Yates algorithm is used for scrambling, a length of > 3 is needed for a word to be able to get scrambled.

options - Options for scrambling, optional.

options are defined via an interface IStringOptions:

interface IStringOptions {
  trimWhitespace?: boolean
}

trimWhitespace, if true all whitespace is removed from the input string prior to scrambling its contents.

Returns the scrambled string.

Will throw an error if the input is not a string.

---

scrambleArray<ArrayType>(input: ArrayType[]): ArrayType[]

Scrambles the elements of an array.

input - The array to be scrambled.

Returns the scrambled array.

Will throw an error if the input is not an array.

---

✨ Examples

example.mts

import { scrambleString, scrambleArray } from '@igor.dvlpr/scramble'

// these are just sample outputs
// since each invocation reorders
// elements randomly

console.log(scrambleString(
  'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.'
)) // returns 'Leorm isupm dloor sit aetm, ccotnsueetr asdincipig eitl.'

console.log(scrambleString(
  'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.', { trimWhitespace: true }
)) // returns 'Lpetssgerodcsctcmuaunelrteiisoomirlait,toindmipe.'

console.log(scrambleArray([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])) // [5, 7, 1, 4, 2, 8, 3, 6]
