NFL Team Identification

Identify NFL teams from full names, nicknames, and malformed names.

Quickstart

Installing

Install with npm:

npm install nfl-teams
API

nfl-teams can be imported just like any Node.js module:

teams = require "nfl-teams"

The teams module defines one method, matchTeam, which takes a single string as a parameter. Another string is returned, with the full team name (city and formal nickname). As an example,

teams.matchTeam "stillers"
# => "Pittsburgh Steelers"

matchTeam assumes that the team name it's given is in English and is, in fact, an actual team name. If the name isn't recognized, matchTeam will return a best guess, or an empty string if str isn't a string or has a length of zero.
