Filterjs

This package has been fully re-created the documentation below will help you with the new syntax.

Another package for filtering text and curse words.

Quick start

const {TextFilter} = require('devspeed-filterjs');

const message = new TextFilter({
  text: "shut the **** up", // set the text that is being manipulated
  disableBlackList:  false, // set to false by default.
  customBlacklist: ['foo', 'aah'], // create the custom blacklist.
})

censorWith

The censorWith option allow to you change the default replacer to what ever you like.

const message = new TextFilter({
  text: "hello 'badword'",
  censorWith: "#"
})

message.censor()  // returns hello ######

customBlacklist

The customBlacklist allows you to create your own custom blacklist words this will override the default blacklist and create a new one.

disableBlacklist

The disableblacklist disables the blacklist functionality which means the censor() function won't filter the text. it will just return the text.

censor Function

checks if the text have any blacklist words in it. note that this package already have default blacklist words if you want to see what it looks like click here

const mystr = new TextFilter({
  text: "shut the 'nastyword' up", 
})

mystr.censor() // returns shut the **** up
// or
mystr.censor("nastyword you")  // returns ****** you

if you want your text to be censored globaly. You can use option textoveride see below for example

before

const filter = new TextFilter({
  text: "shut the 'nastyword' up", 
})

console.log(filter.censor())// returns "shut the ****** up"
console.log(filter.text) // returns "shut the ******* up"

after

const filter = new TextFilter({
  text: "shut the 'nastyword' up",
  textoveride: true, // false by default
})
console.log(filter.censor())// returns "shut the **** up"
console.log(filter.text) // returns "shut the **** up"

textoverride determines if the censor() function should filter the text globaly.

hasblacklist function

The hasblacklist() function checks a string and determines whether it contains a blacklist strings and return true or false

const filter = new TextFilter({
  text: "shut the 'nastyword' up",
})

console.log(filter.hasblacklist())  // returns true 

another way that you can use the hasblacklist function is passing a string as the first parameter.

 console.log(filter.hasblacklist("some text"))

more example

filter.hasblacklist("nastyword jake",(results, match, text)=>{
  // results returns true are false
 // match returns an array with the blacklistword that was found in the text

  if(results) {
    console.log(result) // true
    console.log(match) // ["nastyword"]
    console.log(text) //  nastyword jake
  }
})
