swearjar-node

Profanity detection and filtering library.

Build Status

Installation

npm install --save swearjar

Usage

swearjar.profane(text)

Returns true if the given string contains profanity.

var swearjar = require('swearjar');
swearjar.profane("hello there"); // false
swearjar.profane("hello mother f-bomb"); // true

swearjar.censor(text)

Replaces profanity with asterisks.

var clean = swearjar.censor("f-bomb you"); // **** you

swearjar.scorecard(text)

Generates a report from the given text.

swearjar.scorecard("f-bomb you"); // {sexual: 1, inappropriate: 1}

swearjar.loadBadWords(path)

Loads a dictionary of words to be used as filter.

NOTE: A US English default list located in the config directory is included and loaded by default.

swearjar.loadBadWords('./config/profanity.json');

A dictionary is just a plain JSON file containing an object where its keys are the words to check for and the values are arrays of categories where the words fall in.

{
	"word1": ["category1", "category2"],
	"word2": ["category1"],
	"word3": ["category2"]
}
