Underscore.string Build Status

Javascript lacks complete string manipulation operations. This an attempt to fill that gap. List of build-in methods can be found for example from Dive Into JavaScript.

As name states this an extension for Underscore.js, but it can be used independently from _s-global variable. But with Underscore.js you can use Object-Oriented style and chaining:

_("   epeli  ").chain().trim().capitalize().value()
=> "Epeli"

Download

Node.js installation

npm package

npm install underscore.string

Standalone usage:

var _s = require('underscore.string');

Integrate with Underscore.js:

var _  = require('underscore');

// Import Underscore.string to separate object, because there are conflict functions (include, reverse, contains)
_.str = require('underscore.string');

// Mix in non-conflict functions to Underscore namespace if you want
_.mixin(_.str.exports());

// All functions, include conflict, will be available through _.str object
_.str.include('Underscore.string', 'string'); // => true

Or Integrate with Underscore.js without module loading

Run the following expression after Underscore.js and Underscore.string are loaded

// _.str becomes a global variable if no module loading is detected
// Mix in non-conflict functions to Underscore namespace
_.mixin(_.str.exports());

String Functions

For availability of functions in this way you need to mix in Underscore.string functions:

_.mixin(_.string.exports());

otherwise functions from examples will be available through _.string or _.str objects:

_.str.capitalize('epeli')
=> "Epeli"

numberFormat _.numberFormat(number, [ decimals=0, decimalSeparator='.', orderSeparator=','])

Formats the numbers.

_.numberFormat(1000, 2)
=> "1,000.00"

_.numberFormat(123456789.123, 5, '.', ',')
=> "123,456,789.12300"

levenshtein _.levenshtein(string1, string2)

Calculates Levenshtein distance between two strings.

_.levenshtein('kitten', 'kittah')
=> 2

capitalize _.capitalize(string)

Converts first letter of the string to uppercase.

_.capitalize("foo Bar")
=> "Foo Bar"

chop _.chop(string, step)

_.chop('whitespace', 3)
=> ['whi','tes','pac','e']

clean _.clean(str)

Compress some whitespaces to one.

_.clean(" foo    bar   ")
=> 'foo bar'

chars _.chars(str)

_.chars('Hello')
=> ['H','e','l','l','o']

swapCase _.swapCase(str)

Returns a copy of the string in which all the case-based characters have had their case swapped.

_.swapCase('hELLO')
=> 'Hello'

include available only through _.str object, because Underscore has function with the same name.

_.str.include("foobar", "ob")
=> true

(removed) includes _.includes(string, substring)

Tests if string contains a substring.

_.includes("foobar", "ob")
=> true

includes function was removed

But you can create it in this way, for compatibility with previous versions:

_.includes = _.str.include

count _.count(string, substring)

_('Hello world').count('l')
=> 3

escapeHTML _.escapeHTML(string)

Converts HTML special characters to their entity equivalents.

_('<div>Blah blah blah</div>').escapeHTML();
=> '&lt;div&gt;Blah blah blah&lt;/div&gt;'

unescapeHTML _.unescapeHTML(string)

Converts entity characters to HTML equivalents.

_('&lt;div&gt;Blah blah blah&lt;/div&gt;').unescapeHTML();
=> '<div>Blah blah blah</div>'

insert _.insert(string, index, substing)

_('Hello ').insert(6, 'world')
=> 'Hello world'

isBlank _.isBlank(string)

_('').isBlank(); // => true
_('\n').isBlank(); // => true
_(' ').isBlank(); // => true
_('a').isBlank(); // => false

join _.join(separator, *strings)

Joins strings together with given separator

_.join(" ", "foo", "bar")
=> "foo bar"

lines _.lines(str)

_.lines("Hello\nWorld")
=> ["Hello", "World"]

reverse available only through _.str object, because Underscore has function with the same name.

Return reversed string:

_.str.reverse("foobar")
=> 'raboof'

splice _.splice(string, index, howmany, substring)

Like a array splice.

_('https://edtsech@bitbucket.org/edtsech/underscore.strings').splice(30, 7, 'epeli')
=> 'https://edtsech@bitbucket.org/epeli/underscore.strings'

startsWith _.startsWith(string, starts)

This method checks whether string starts with starts.

_("image.gif").startsWith("image")
=> true

endsWith _.endsWith(string, ends)

This method checks whether string ends with ends.

_("image.gif").endsWith("gif")
=> true

succ _.succ(str)

Returns the successor to str.

_('a').succ()
=> 'b'

trims defined characters from begining and ending of the string. Defaults to whitespace characters.

_.toBoolean("FALSE")
=> false
_.toBoolean("random")
=> undefined

It can be customized by giving arrays of truth and falsy value matcher as parameters. Matchers can be also RegExp objects.

_.toBoolean("truthy", ["truthy"], ["falsy"])
=> true
_.toBoolean("true only at start", [/^true/])
=> true

Roadmap

Any suggestions or bug reports are welcome. Just email me or more preferably open an issue.

Problems

We lose two things for include and reverse methods from _.string:

  • Calls like _('foobar').include('bar') aren't available;
  • Chaining isn't available too.

But if you need this functionality you can create aliases for conflict functions which will be convenient for you:

_.mixin({
    includeString: _.str.include,
    reverseString: _.str.reverse
})

// Now wrapper calls and chaining are available.
_('foobar').chain().reverseString().includeString('rab').value()

Standalone Usage

If you are using Underscore.string without Underscore. You also have _.string namespace for it and _.str alias But of course you can just reassign _ variable with _.string

_ = _.string
