nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier

nlcst utility to move initial emoticons into the previous sentence. Useful because many people place an emoticon, representing emotion related to the previous sentence, after a terminal marker. 😒

Note: You probably want to use retext-emoji.

Install

npm:

npm install nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier

Use

var affixEmoticon = require('nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier')
var emoticon = require('nlcst-emoticon-modifier')
var inspect = require('unist-util-inspect')
var english = require('parse-english')()

english.useFirst('tokenizeSentence', emoticon)
english.useFirst('tokenizeParagraph', affixEmoticon)

console.log(inspect(english.parse('Hey. :) How is it going?')))

Yields:
