Smol Sentence Boundary Detection (SBD)

Tiny sentence boundary detection library for JavaScript/TypeScript.

It uses the vanilla strategy covering ~95% of cases.

This is modernized and trimmed fork of Fabiën Tesselaar's sbd. Unlike the original version, it is focused on the single task and removes extra options.

Installation

The package is available on npm:

npm install smolsdb

Usage

Import the sentences function and pass a string to it. It will return an array of sentences.

import { sentences } from "smolsdb";

sentences(
  "On Jan. 20, former Sen. Barack Obama became the 44th President of the U.S. Millions attended the Inauguration.",
);
//=> [
//=>   "On Jan. 20, former Sen. Barack Obama became the 44th President of the U.S.",
//=>   "Millions attended the Inauguration.",
//=> ]
