Advanced tools
A high-performance TypeScript library for tokenizing text and performing natural language processing tasks—including sentiment analysis—across multiple languages.
Install via npm:
npm install @the-horizon-dev/fast-tokenizer
The core tokenizer supports multiple options including case normalization, diacritic removal, and stop word filtering. For example:
import { Tokenizer } from "@the-horizon-dev/fast-tokenizer";
// Create an instance with default options.
const tokenizer = new Tokenizer({ lowercase: true, removeStopWords: true });
const text = "Hello, world! This is a sample text.";
const tokens = tokenizer.tokenize(text, { minLength: 3 });
console.log(tokens);
// Join tokens back to a string.
const joined = tokenizer.join(tokens);
console.log(joined);
You can perform sentiment analysis on text using the language‑specific modules. The library provides a unified API that leverages language‑dependent dictionaries, negation rules, and (optional) stemming.
import { SentimentAnalyzer } from "@the-horizon-dev/fast-tokenizer";
// Analyze sentiment for English text.
const analyzer = new SentimentAnalyzer();
const result = analyzer.analyze("I absolutely love this product!");
console.log(result);
// {
// score: 3,
// comparative: 0.3,
// tokens: [...],
// words: [...],
// positive: [...],
// negative: [...]
// }
import { SentimentAnalyzer } from "@the-horizon-dev/fast-tokenizer";
// Analyze sentiment for Portuguese text.
const analyzer = new SentimentAnalyzer();
const result = analyzer.analyze("Eu não gosto deste lugar", "pt");
console.log(result);
