String Methods Library

A JavaScript library for emulating Python's string methods.

Table of Contents

Project Description

The String Methods Library is a JavaScript library that provides a collection of useful string manipulation functions. It is designed to simplify common string operations and make your coding tasks more efficient.

Motivation

The motivation behind this project is to create a versatile and easy-to-use library for string manipulation in JavaScript. By providing a range of string methods, this library aims to save developers time and effort when working with strings.

Installation

You can install the library using npm:

npm install node-string-methods

Usage

To use the library, import the desired modules in your JavaScript code. Here are some examples of the available modules:

const capitalized = capitalize(str);
console.log(capitalized); // Output: 'Hello, world!'

Module 2: caseFold

Description: Converts a string to its case-folded form (Unicode normalization).

Usage:

const { caseFold } = require('node-string-methods');
