Usage

Parameters

str                       (required)
prohibitedSubstrings      (required)
allowLastSubstringToBleed (optional) default = false

Requiring

const hasProhibitedSubstring = require('@pelevesque/has_prohibited_substring')

Basic Usage

prohibitedSubstrings is an array of substrings. true is returned if at least one substring is found.

const str = 'abcde'
const prohibitedSubstrings = ['f']
const result = hasProhibitedSubstring(str, prohibitedSubstrings)
// result === false

const str = 'abcde'
const prohibitedSubstrings = ['a']
const result = hasProhibitedSubstring(str, prohibitedSubstrings)
// result === true

const str = 'abcde'
const prohibitedSubstrings = ['a', 'b', 'f']
const result = hasProhibitedSubstring(str, prohibitedSubstrings)
// result === true

const str = 'abcde'
const prohibitedSubstrings = ['a', 'b', 'c']
const result = hasProhibitedSubstring(str, prohibitedSubstrings)
// result === true

const str = 'a man a plan a canal'
const prohibitedSubstrings = ['man', 'fly', 'bee']
const result = hasProhibitedSubstring(str, prohibitedSubstrings)
// result === true

Options

allowLastSubstringToBleed

The allowLastSubstringToBleed option is false by default. It it used when you want to allow the last substring to be incomplete if the string is too short. In the following example, the last substring canal starts at the correct index, but remains incomplete since the string ends. Normally this would return false. With allowLastSubstringToBleed set to true, it returns true.

const str = 'a man a plan a c'
const prohibitedSubstrings = ['canal']
const allowLastSubstringToBleed = true
const result = hasProhibitedSubstring(str, prohibitedSubstrings, allowLastSubstringToBleed)
// result === true

options style

For style compatibility with related packages like has_required_substrings_after_sums, it is possible to set allowLastSubstringToBleed using an options style.

const str = 'a man a plan a c'
const prohibitedSubstrings = ['canal']
const allowLastSubstringToBleed = true
const result = hasProhibitedSubstring(str, prohibitedSubstrings, {
  allowLastSubstringToBleed: allowLastSubstringToBleed
})
// result === true
