StringOps

StringOps is made to fill in the gaps of String methods in JavaScript that currently exist in other languages but not yet in JavaScript.

If using ES6 imports then you can just import the methods you need to save space.

Installation

StringOps is available as both a Node.js package available through NPM and as an ES6 module.

To download StringOps through NPM, use the following command:

$ npm install stringops

From here you can either require the package:

const stringops = require('stringops');

Or if you're developing in an environment that allows the use of imports, you can use:

// Webpack
import * as stringoops from 'stringops';
 
// Browser
import * as stringops from './path/to/stringops.js';

Or even further you can import just the methods you need:

import { ltrim, ucwords, nthIndexOf } from './path/to/stringops.js';

In the browser you can also use the unpkg script like so:

<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/stringops@latest/stringops.js"></script>
