Usage

Importing the Package

JavaScript

const pragiString = require("pragi-string");

TypeScript

import { pragiString } from "pragi-string";

Text Transformations

// Method-based API for better readability
pragiString.titleCase("hello world");  // Hello World
pragiString.camelCase("hello world");  // helloWorld
pragiString.snakeCase("hello world");  // hello_world

Smart Features

Text Truncation

// Truncate with custom length and suffix
pragiString.titleCase("this is a very long text", { 
  truncate: { length: 10, suffix: "..." } 
});
// Output: "This Is..." (truncates before case transformation)

// Custom suffix
pragiString.titleCase("this is a very long text", { 
  truncate: { length: 12, suffix: " [...]" } 
});
// Output: "This Is [...]"

Intelligent Trimming

// Automatically handles various whitespace scenarios
pragiString.titleCase("  hello   world  ", { trim: true });
// Output: "Hello World"

// Trim specific characters
pragiString.titleCase("***hello***world***", { 
  trim: { chars: "*" } 
});
// Output: "Hello World"

Word Exclusions

// Exclude specific words from case transformation
pragiString.titleCase("the quick brown fox", { 
  exclude: ["the", "of", "and"] 
});
// Output: "the Quick Brown Fox"

// Combine with other features
pragiString.titleCase("  the quick brown fox  ", { 
  exclude: ["the"],
  trim: true,
  truncate: { length: 15, suffix: "..." }
});
// Output: "the Quick Brown..."

Number Conversions

// Convert numbers to words
pragiString.toWords(42);  // "forty two"
pragiString.toWords(1234);  // "one thousand two hundred thirty four"

// Convert words to numbers
pragiString.toNumbers("forty two");  // 42
pragiString.toNumbers("one thousand two hundred thirty four");  // 1234

// Convert to ordinal numbers
pragiString.toOrdinal(1);  // "1st"
pragiString.toOrdinal(42);  // "42nd"

// Roman numeral conversions
pragiString.toRoman(42);  // "XLII"
pragiString.fromRoman("XLII");  // 42

// Humanize large numbers
pragiString.humanizeNumber(1234567);  // "1.2M"

// Time and duration formatting
pragiString.humanizeDuration(3665);  // "1 hour, 1 minute, 5 seconds"
pragiString.toDigitalTime(3665);  // "01:01:05"
