strikethrough-js

Manipulate plain text strikethrough chars in Javascript

Why?

Strikethrough is represented by words with a horizontal line through their center. It implies that the text is wrong and was recently deleted or marked as such. Unlike the HTML's tag, strikethrough text will work when you copy-paste it in to another location. That’s because the strikethrough characters [...] are in plain text. - Saijo George

This library allows you to get rid of this because some fonts doesn't support strikethrough. You will be able to apply strikethrough another way (e.g., in CSS: text-decoration: line-through;)

Install

npm i strikethrough-js

Usage

// Javascript
var lib = require('strikethrough-js');
var res = lib.removeStrikethrough('...');

import * as lib from 'strikethrough-js';
const res = lib.removeStrikethrough('...');

Remove strikethrough

const str = removeStrikethrough('1̶2̶3̶7̶8̶9̶€̶');
console.log(str);
// 123789€

Remove strikethrough chars

const str = removeStrikethroughChars('456€ 1̶2̶3̶7̶8̶9̶€̶');
console.log(str);
// 456€ 

Get strikethrough chars

const str = getStrikethroughChars('456€ (1̶2̶3̶7̶8̶9̶€̶)');

Develop

Library

Since this lib is pretty light, there is no need for a sophisticated bundler (like Webpack or Rollup). The core lib is bundled with bare bones NodeJS and Babel.

Tests

npm t

Will use Jest test suites and pre-commit hook.
