Basic overview of usage
const Filter = require("purgomalum");
const filter = new Filter();
filter.clean("Hello a$$")
.then((cleanedText) => {
console.log(cleanedText); // Will log out "Hello ***"
});
You can also use filter.containsProfanity()
to check if it contains profanity.
filter.containsProfanity("Hello friend!")
.then((isBad) => {
console.log(isBad) // Will log out "false"
})
If you perfer not to use promises, you can use await
in async
functions.
async function() {
var cleaned = await filter.
}
One of the coolest things about this filter, is that it doesn't always filter out substrings. For example:
await filter.containsProfanity("cock") // true
await filter.containsProfanity("cockpit") //
You can use the config object to create a new Filter
, like this:
var config = {
fill_char: "~",
add: ["sussybaka"]
}
var filter = new Filter(config)
Here is a short explanation about each of the Purgomalum configuration properties (from the official Purgomalum Website)
