About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Expand Acronyms

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Expand acronyms.

Usage

To use in Observable,

expandAcronyms = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/nlp-expand-acronyms@umd/browser.js' )

To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:

var expandAcronyms = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/nlp-expand-acronyms/index.js' )

To include the bundle in a webpage,

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/nlp-expand-acronyms@umd/browser.js"></script>

If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
    window.expandAcronyms;
})();
</script>

expandAcronyms( str )

Expands acronyms in a string.

var str = 'TLDR, the article is too long...';
var out = expandAcronyms( str );
// returns 'too long did not read, the article is too long...'

Notes

  • This expansion is done via a simple table look-up. Hence, it is not able to replace acronyms for which there are multiple possible expansions.

Examples

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/nlp-expand-acronyms@umd/browser.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {

var str = 'LOL, this is fun. I am ROFL.';
var out = expandAcronyms( str );
// returns 'laughing out loud, this is fun. I am rolling on the floor laughing.'

str = 'brb, I need to check my mail. thx!';
out = expandAcronyms( str );
// returns 'be right back, I need to check my mail. thanks!'

str = 'OTOH, there are some drawbacks to this approach imho.';
out = expandAcronyms( str );
// returns 'on the other hand, there are some drawbacks to this approach in my humble opinion.'

})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
