remove-words
A node module that returns an array of all words in a string that are not a pronoun or generic words.
This can be used for storing just the keywords of a string in a database and not wasting space with words like 'and', 'to', 'the'... which are unlikely to be searched for in a query.
Installation
yarn add remove-words --save
Example
var removeWords = ; ;// Will return: ['today', 'sunny', 'swimming', 'seaside']
Removing duplicates
By default all duplicates will be removed. The second (optional) parameter is a boolean, specifiying weather of not to remove duplicates.
; // ["hello", "world"]; // ["hello", "world", "hello", "hello"]
Using a custom word list
var names = 'jack' 'john' 'joe' 'james' 'jim'// Will remove just all names
