remove.js

remove.js

Small but powerful string cleanup and reduction library

Try it

It contains the following string manipulation methods:

• remove.redundant - To remove redundant words from a sentence
• remove.gibberish - To remove gibberish parts (or completely replace) from a sentence
• remove.characters - To intelligentally trim the sentence

The remove.js file contains the whole library.

Install it

Node

You can use npm to install remove.js. Just do:

npm install remove.js

Then use it like:

var remove = require('remove');
var string = "bmgbberish This is This is a chkgbbr nice day day";
string = remove.gibberish(string) // returns "This is This is a nice day day"
string = remove.redundant(string) // returns "This is a nice day"
string = remove.characters(string, 10) // returns "This … day"

Browser

To use it in browser, simply include the file remove.js in your html

<script src="remove.js"></script>

... and use it like

var string = "bmgbberish This is This is a chkgbbr nice day day";
string = remove.gibberish(string) // returns "This is This is a nice day day"
// and so on.

jQuery

remove.js also works with jQuery. If jQuery is found on the page where you have included the file, then it registers the following custom methods:

• removeRedundant() (and its short version rR())
• removeGibberish() (and its short version rG())
• removeCharacters() (and its short version rC())

All of the methods are chainable (like any other jquery method)

Here's how to convert the above mentioned example into jQuery syntax:

var strings = $(["bmgbberish This is This is a chkgbbr nice day day"]);
strings = strings.removeRedundant().removeGibberish().removeCharacters(10);
// too much typing ? try this:
strings = strings.rR().rG().rC(10)[0]; // returns "This … day"

State of the project

The remove.js file is around 14 KB, but the minified is only 3.75 KB and the gzipped minified is even smaller (1.64 KB).

All the methods are documented inline and a nice docco view can be found here

Certain Limitations:

• The redundant detection logic is not that great. It can be improved a lot.
• The same goes for gibberish detection logic. But in this case, improving it further is really challenging.
