BlunderBus Documentation

Overview

BlunderBus is designed to generate a wide array of typographical errors from a given string. This tool simulates common typing mistakes such as substitution, transposition, omission, and insertion.

Installation

To install BlunderBus using npm, run the following command:

npm install blunderbus

Methods

• substitute(string): Generates typographical errors by substituting each character in the provided string with every character in the charset.

• cognitiveErrors(string): Generates typos based on characters with similar pronunciations.

• transposition(string): Produces typos by transposing adjacent characters in the given string.

• omission(string): Generates typographical errors by omitting each character from the provided string once.

• insertion(string): Generates typos by inserting each letter of the alphabet at every position in the provided string.

• all(string): Collates all types of typos using the above methods.

Usage

First, you need to require and instantiate BlunderBus:

const BlunderBus = require('blunderbus');

To generate all types of typos for a string:

for(let typo of BlunderBus.all("hello")) {
    console.log(typo);
}

To generate a specific type of typo, for example, the transposition method:

for(let typo of BlunderBus.transposition("hello")) {
    console.log(typo);
}
