What is this?

This package exposes lists of profane words in several languages.

When should I use this?

This is a flat list of words. See cuss for the same words, rated for sureness: how likely they are to be used as either profanity or clean text.

Install

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

npm install profanities

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {profanities} from 'https://esm.sh/profanities@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {profanities} from 'https://esm.sh/profanities@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {profanities} from 'profanities'
import {profanities as profanitiesFr} from 'profanities/fr'

console.log(profanities.includes('butt')) // true
console.log(profanitiesFr.includes('boule')) // true
