profanityfilter
A static node.js utility for masking words or phrases in strings that aren't allowed.
Installation
npm install profanityfilter
configuration
There are three methods of replacement, outlined below ('word' requires you specify a replacement for each word):
stars - That **** UX change was such a pain in the ***
grawlix - That &!%$ UX change was such a pain in the #@%
word - That darn UX change was such a pain in the badonkadonk
Note: 'stars' is the default method of replacement
methods
filter.clean(string)
Takes supplied string and runs the filter based on the current dictionary of unallowed words and replacement method. Returns the filtered string.
var filter = require('profanity-filter');
console.log(filter.clean('String I\'d like to filter for inappropriate words.'));
filter.seed(name)
Populates the internal filter dictionary using a seed data JSON file (must live in lib/seeds).
var filter = require('profanity-filter');
filter.seed('profanity');
###filter.debug()
Returns the dictionary, replacementMethod, and grawlixChars internal properties for debugging purposes.
var filter = require('profanity-filter');
filter.debug()
filter.setReplacementMethod(string)
Globally sets the method of replacement. Accepts 'stars', 'word', and 'grawlix'.
var filter = require('profanity-filter');
filter.setReplacementMethod('grawlix');
filter.setGrawlixChars(array)
Globally sets the grawlix characters to be used as replacements, if grawlix is the current replacementMethod.
var filter = require('profanity-filter');
filter.setGrawlixChars(['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6']);
filter.addWord(string, [string])
Adds a word to the internal replacement dictionary. The optional second parameter is used if the replacementMethod is set to 'word'. If the word method is set and no replacement is passed, the filter will default to 'BLEEP'.
var filter = require('profanity-filter');
filter.addWord('ass', 'badonkadonk');
filter.removeWord(string)
Removes a word from the internal replacement dicitonary.
var filter = require('profanity-filter');
filter.removeWord('ass');
