quote-parser

A node.js module for extracting quotes from text.

Supported languages: ['ro', 'ru', 'bg', 'hu', 'it', 'cs', 'pl', 'en', 'es'].

The project detects 2 parts of a quote:

1. The quote body - exact;
2. The author's name - NOT exact.

Usage

var parser = require('quote-parser');
// example 1
var text = '"It\'s a hellacious problem," said Hugh Ray to the...';
var quotes = parser.parse(text, 'en', { minLength: 10 });

console.log(quotes);
// [ { index: 1,
//    text: 'It\'s a hellacious problem,',
//    name: { index: 34, text: 'Hugh Ray to the...' } } ]

// example 2
var text = 'Plus "Nu cred ca este adevarat!", a spus Vlad Filat';
var lang = 'ro';
var quotes = parser.parse(text, lang, {
  persons: [{
    index: 41,
    id: 101
  }]
});

console.log(quotes);
// [ { index: 6,
//    text: 'Nu cred ca este adevarat!',
//    name: { index: 41, text: 'Vlad Filat' },
//    author: { index: 41, id: 101 } } ]
