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 🙏

Readme

remove-words

Build Status Dependency Status devDependency Status Code Climate Maintenance

A node module that returns an array of all words in a string that are not a pronoun or generic words.

This can be used for storing just the keywords of a string in a database and not wasting space with words like 'and', 'to', 'the'... which are unlikely to be searched for in a query.

Installation

yarn add remove-words --save

Example

var removeWords =  require('remove-words');

removeWords("Today is sunny so we are going to go swimming at the seaside");
// Will return: ['today', 'sunny', 'swimming', 'seaside']

Removing duplicates

By default all duplicates will be removed. The second (optional) parameter is a boolean, specifiying weather of not to remove duplicates.

removeWords("Hello world hello hello", true); // ["hello", "world"]
removeWords("Hello world hello hello", false); // ["hello", "world", "hello", "hello"]

Using a custom word list


var names = ['jack', 'john', 'joe', 'james', 'jim']
removeWords("The winners are: Jack, John and Jim!!!", true, names)
// Will remove just all names

Features

  • Case insensitive
  • Handles special characters, URL's and other non standard strings
  • By default doesn't return any duplicates, but can be specified in 2nd parameter
  • Doesn't return blanks or special characters
  • Thoroughly unit tested
  • Words list is customisable, optionally pass in your own array as the third parameter
