nlcst utility to move initial emoticons into the previous sentence.

Contents

What is this?

This utility searches emoticon nodes (from nlcst-emoticon-modifier and nlcst-emoji-modifier) that start a sentence and then moves them into the previous sentence.

When should I use this?

This package is a tiny utility that helps when dealing with emoticons in natural language. It’s useful because many people place an emoticon or emoji, representing emotion related to the previous sentence, after a terminal marker. πŸ˜’

The plugin retext-emoji wraps this utility and others at a higher-level (easier) abstraction.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+ and 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {affixEmoticonModifier} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier@2'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {affixEmoticonModifier} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier@2?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {affixEmoticonModifier} from 'nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier'
import {emoticonModifier} from 'nlcst-emoticon-modifier'
import {inspect} from 'unist-util-inspect'
import {ParseEnglish} from 'parse-english'

const parser = new ParseEnglish()
parser.tokenizeSentencePlugins.unshift(emoticonModifier)
parser.tokenizeParagraphPlugins.unshift(affixEmoticonModifier)

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

API

This package exports the identifier affixEmoticonModifier. There is no default export.

affixEmoticonModifier(node)

Merge emoticons in node into EmoticonNodes.

Parameters
Returns

Nothing (void).

Emoticon

Emoticon node (TypeScript type).

See Emoticon in nlcst-emoticon-modifier.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports the additional type Emoticon.

It also registers the Emoticon node type with @types/nlcst in SentenceContentMap. If you’re working with the syntax tree, make sure to import this utility somewhere in your types, as that registers the new node types in the tree.

/**
 * @typedef {import('nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier')}
 */

import {visit} from 'unist-util-visit'

/** @type {import('nlcst').Root} */
const tree = getNodeSomeHow()

visit(tree, (node) => {
  // `node` can now be a `Emoticon` node.
})

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
