clean-quotes

• ✍️ Clean and standardize punctuation in strings — normalize quotes, single quotes, dashes, and ellipsis for multi-language text, emojis and consistent formatting.
• ♻️ Works seamlessly with CommonJS, ESM and TypeScript

🚀 Why use this?

• 👍 Good for validating input fields or textareas.
• 👍 Sanitizing data before it's saved to a SQL/NoSQL database.
• 👍 Pre-processing text for Natural Language Processing (NLP) or sentiment analysis, where special characters are often "noise."

📦 Install via NPM

$ npm i clean-quotes

💻 Usage

• See examples below

CommonJS

const cleanQuotes = require('clean-quotes');

const input = `“Hello” — said the cat… ‘Are you okay?’ «Bonjour» ― こんにちは…`;
const cleanedString = cleanQuotes(input);
