Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

arabic-utils

build img img img

An NPM package designed for use in both browser and Node environments. It offers a range of convenient utilities specifically tailored for Arabic string manipulation, including functionalities like token search, removing diacritics and more.

Installation

npm install arabic-utils

Usage

import { ArabicString } from "arabic-utils";

getMatches(searchToken: string, matchOptions?: IMatchOptions)

Retrieves the matched parts from the given Arabic text based on the search token.

Example:

const input = "خُلقتَ طَليقاً كَطَيفِ النَّسيمِ";
const token = "النسيم";
console.log(ArabicString(input).getMatches(token)).

/*
* Output:
* [
*   { text: "خُلقتَ طَليقاً كَطَيفِ ", isMatch: false },
*   { text: "النَّسيمِ", isMatch: true },
* ]
*/

removeDiacritics()

Removes diacritics from the input string.

Example:

const normalized = ArabicString("السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ").removeDiacritics();
console.log(normalized); // "السلام عليكم"

removeTatweel()

Removes ARABIC TATWEEL characters (U+0640) from an Arabic text string.

Example:

console.log(ArabicString("كتــــــــــــــــاب").removeTatweel()); // "كتاب"

includes(searchString: string, position?: number)

Checks if the Arabic text includes a specified search string.

Example:

console.log(ArabicString("السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ").includes("السلام")); // true

startsWith(searchString: string, position?: number)

Checks if the Arabic text starts with a specified search string.

Example:

console.log(ArabicString("السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ").startsWith("السلام")); // true

normalizeAlef()

Normalizes the occurrence of the letters "آ", "إ", and "أ" in the given Arabic text by replacing them with the letter "ا".

Example:

console.log(ArabicString("الآن").normalizeAlef()); // "الان"

remove(textToRemove: string)

Removes an occurrence of a specified text from an Arabic string.

Example:

const newString = ArabicString("السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ").remove("السلام");
console.log(newString); // " عَلَيْكُمُ"

Notes:

Do not nest calls to ArabicString in each other it will cause undesired behavior

Example:

import { ArabicString } from "arabic-utils";

// ❌ This is invalid syntax
const newString = ArabicString("السلام عليكم").remove(
  ArabicString("السَّلَامُ").removeDiacritics()
);
console.log(newString); // ""
import { ArabicString } from "arabic-utils";

// ✅ This is valid
const normalizedToken = ArabicString("السَّلَامُ").removeDiacritics();
const newString = ArabicString("السلام عليكم").remove(normalizedToken);
console.log(newString); // " عليكم"
import { ArabicString, ArabicClass } from "arabic-utils";

// ✅ This is also valid
const newString = ArabicString("السلام عليكم").remove(
  ArabicClass.removeDiacritics("السَّلَامُ")
);
console.log(newString); // " عليكم"
