Scandio.string = {};Register string namespace on scandiojs object
Scandio.string = {};Capitalizes a given string (scandio becomes Scandio etc.)
Scandio.string.capitalize = function(string) {First char gets upppercased every other char lowercased
return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.substring(1).toLowerCase();
};Lowercases a given string (ScanDiO becomes scandio)
Scandio.string.lower = function(string) {Just everything to lowercase
return string.toLowerCase();
};Cleans up the mess of a string (‘ Scandio GmbH ‘ becomes ‘Scandio GmbH’)
Scandio.string.clean = function(string) {Trims the mess (whitespace default) and replaces consecutive (s+) whitespaces within with one whitespace
return Scandio.string.trim(string).replace(/\s+/g, ' ');
};Trims away the given characters around a given string (defaults to whitespace)
Scandio.string.trim = function(string, characters){Uses nativeTrim if defined and no characters are given (not supported by native impl.)
if (!characters && nativeTrim) {
return nativeTrim.call(string);
}A RegExp starting at the beginning of the string, the string wrapped by the characters
replacing them around the string
return String(string).replace(new RegExp('^' + characters + '+|' + characters + '+$', 'g'), '');
};Chops a string up at every position in the string Scandio.string.chop('chopchop', 3) === 'cho pch op'
Scandio.string.chop = function(string, at) {Better make a string out of the passed in ‘string’
string = String(string);Double NOT bitwise (sorta same as Math.floor())
at = ~~at;RegExp works like a UNIX expansion list, expanding around the whitespace from 1-to-at
return at > 0 ? string.match(new RegExp('.{1,' + at + '}', 'g')) : [string];
};Finds a string within a string (fuzzy) e.g. Scandio.string.contains('I'veADream', 'Dream') === true
Scandio.string.contains = function(needle, haystack) {Don’t do work if no needle passed (but we’ve found something right!)
if (needle === '') { return true; }Empty haystack should also lead to some chilling without having found something
if (haystack === null || haystack === undefined) { return false; }Do the old trick of using indexOf of the haystack with the needle
return String(haystack).indexOf(needle) !== -1;
};Checks if string starts with a given string
Scandio.string.starts = function(string, what) {Wrap the passed in arguments in a String object for sanity
string = String(string);
what = String(what);If the string is longer, equally long than the one it’s supposed to start with and if its slice from 0 to the starting string’s length is the starting string
return string.length >= what.length && string.slice(0, what.length) === what;
};Checks if string ends with a given string
Scandio.string.ends = function(string, what) {Wrap the passed in arguments in a String object for sanity
string = String(string),
what = String(what);If the string is longer, equally long than the one it’s supposed to end with and if its slice from the end to the length of its suppoed ending is equals to its ending
return string.length >= what.length && string.slice(string.length - what.length) === what;
};Implodes/joins a string with a given glue
Scandio.string.implode = function(glue, pieces) {Defaults the glue to empty string
if (glue === null || glue === undefined) { glue = ''; }Pipes call through join on pieces
return pieces.join(glue);
};Explodes/splits a string with by given delimiter
Scandio.string.explode = function(string, delimiter) {Wrap the passed in argument in a String object for sanity
delimiter = String(delimiter),
string = String(string);Pipes passed in arguments through split
return string.split(delimiter);
};Replaces a substring within a string
E.g. Scandio.string.replace('Scandio Gm', 'Gm', 'GmbH') will return ‘Scandio GmbH’
Scandio.string.replace = function(string, subString, replacer) {Wrap the passed in argument in a String object for sanity
string = String(string);
subString = String(subString);
replacer = String(replacer);
var
regExp = new RegExp( subString.toLowerCase(), "gi" );
return string.replace(regExp, replacer);
};
