kml-subtitles

Simple module which parses subtitle files to a javascript object

Installation:

NodeJS:

npm install kml-subtitles

Example

Let's say we have my.srt SubRip subtitles file:

1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Subtitle 1.1
Subtitle 1.2

2
00:00:28,967 --> 00:01:30,958
Subtitle 2.1
Subtitle 2.2

1. Initialize and configure the parser

var parser = require('kml-subtitles');

var parsedSubtitles = parser({
	path : "./", //--> folder path where the subtitle files exits
    ext : ['.srt', '.vtt'], //--> subtitles extensions
    dest : "./subtitles.js", //--> default destination for exporting the parsed data
    name : "subtitles", //--> default name of the object which contains the parsed data (used for exporting to file)
});

var data = parsedSubtitles.data();

data object will look like:

{
    my : [{
        start: 2,
        end: 6,
        text: 'Subtitle 1.1<br>Subtitle 1.2'
    },
    {
        start: 28.967,
        end: 90.958,
        text: 'Subtitle 2.1<br>Subtitle 2.2'
    }]
}

2. Export the parsed data to a js file

parsedSubtitles.writeTo('export.js');

the export.js content will look like :

var subtitles = {
    my : [{
        start: 2,
        end: 6,
        text: 'Subtitle 1.1<br>Subtitle 1.2'
    },
    {
        start: 28.967,
        end: 90.958,
        text: 'Subtitle 2.1<br>Subtitle 2.2'
    }]
}
