string-range-expander

Expands string index ranges within whitespace boundaries until letters are met

Install

The latest version is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required. If your project is not on ESM yet and you want to use require, use an older version of this program, 2.1.0.

npm i string-range-expander

Quick Take

import { strict as assert } from "assert";

import { expander } from "string-range-expander";

// let's say we have picked the "zzzz" index range - [16, 20]
// "something>\n\t    zzzz <here"
//                    |   |
//                  from  to
//
// PS. "\n" and "\t" take up a single character's length

assert.deepEqual(
  expander({
    str: "something>\n\t    zzzz <here",
    from: 16,
    to: 20,
    ifRightSideIncludesThisThenCropTightly: "<",
  }),
  [10, 21]
);
