Sentence Tokenizer

Tokenize paragraphs into sentences, and smaller tokens.

Installation

Use npm:

npm install sentence-tokenizer

How to

Require the module:

var Tokenizer = require('sentence-tokenizer');

Instanciate a tokenizer, with the name of the utterer:

var tokenizer = new Tokenizer('Chuck');

Set the entry to work on:

tokenizer.setEntry("This is an entry. Possibly composed of several sentences.");

Get the sentences:

console.log(tokenizer.getSentences());

Which should produce:

[ 'This is an entry.',
  'Possibly composed of several sentences.' ]

If you want word-level tokens, use:

console.log(tokenizer.getTokens());

Yielding:

[ 'This',
  'is',
  'an',
  'entry.' ]

To get the second sentence, use:

console.log(tokenizer.getTokens(1));
