openredaction

Production-ready PII detection and redaction for JavaScript/TypeScript. Detects emails, phones, names, and 570+ other patterns locally — regex-first, privacy-first, MIT licensed.

npm install openredaction

import { OpenRedaction } from "openredaction";

const redactor = new OpenRedaction({ redactionMode: "placeholder" });
const { redacted } = await redactor.detect(
  "Contact Jane at [email protected]",
);
// "Contact [NAME_XXXX] at [EMAIL_XXXX]"

This unscoped package re-exports @openredaction/core plus Express/React/server integrations under the original openredaction import path. New projects that only need detection can install @openredaction/core instead.

Subpath imports

import { OpenRedaction, openredactionMiddleware } from "openredaction";
import { usePIIDetector } from "openredaction/react";
import { createAPIServer } from "openredaction/server";

Migration to scoped packages

| Old import | New package | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | openredaction | @openredaction/core (+ @openredaction/express if needed) | | openredaction/react | @openredaction/react | | openredaction/server | @openredaction/server |

Optional peer deps (react, pdf-parse, mammoth, tesseract.js) only apply when you use those integrations.
