split-string
Advanced tools
The split-string npm package is used to split strings on a specified separator while respecting nested structures such as quotes, brackets, and parentheses. It provides a way to parse complex strings with multiple levels of nested delimiters.
Basic string splitting
Splits a string into an array of substrings using the specified separator.
"a.b.c".split('.')Splitting with escaped characters
Splits a string on a separator while allowing escaped characters to be included in the results.
splitString('a\.b.c', { separator: '.' })Splitting with brackets
Splits a string on a separator while respecting nested brackets, keeping them as part of the split segments.
splitString('a.{b.c}.d', { brackets: true })Customizing separators and brackets
Allows customization of separators and bracket pairs for more complex string splitting scenarios.
splitString('a.{b.c}.d', { separators: ['.', ' '], brackets: { '{': '}' } })This package offers similar functionality to split-string, allowing strings to be split into arrays of substrings. It does not, however, provide the same level of support for nested structures or escaped characters.
Split is another package that can turn a stream of text into a stream of lines. It's more focused on Node.js streams rather than simple string splitting and doesn't handle nested delimiters.
Strsplit is a simple utility for splitting strings but lacks the advanced features of split-string, such as handling nested delimiters and escaped characters.
Split a string on a character except when the character is escaped.
Install with npm
$ npm i split-string --save
var split = require('split-string');
split('a.b.c');
//=> ['a', 'b', 'c']
respects escaped characters
split('a.b.c\\.d');
//=> ['a', 'b', 'c.d']
Install dev dependencies:
$ npm i -d && npm test
