munge

munge

ummm, just a tiny node module to munge any strings. useful if wou want to obfuscate email addresses to valid, numeric html entities.

as long as spam robots are still dumb, this should significantly reduce the risk of the email address being harvested.

simple example

by default, munge() encodes each char with a random encoding, either ascii or unicode, to make it more difficult for spammers.

because of the random generator the example below does not always produce the same output:

var munge = require('munge');

console.log(munge('[e-mail]'));

might output something like:

spacemonkey@moon.com

this is valid html code!

based on rfc1866, ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1866.txt

more examples

ascii encoding only

var munge = require('munge');

console.log(munge('[e-mail]', {encoding: 'ascii'}));

should output the string with ascii encodings like that:

spacemonkey@moon.com

utf8 encoding only

var munge = require('munge');

console.log(munge('[e-mail]', {encoding: 'utf8'}));

outputs the same blurb but in unicode:

spacemonkey@moon.com

todo

• express/jade integration
• have it a piped stream instead (for larger strings; not sure if it makes sense here)
