npm install contractions
var contractions = require('contractions');
console.log(contractions.expand("I don't know who ya'll are."));

var Contractions = require('contractions').Contractions;
var contractions = new Contractions({
'asap': 'as soon as possible', // only lower case characters should be used in the list
'a.s.a.p.': 'as soon as possible'
});
var text = 'asap';
text = contractions.expand(text);
console.log(text);
// Outputs: as soon as possible
text = contractions.contract(text);
console.log(text);
