What is this?

This utility searches emoticon nodes (from nlcst-emoticon-modifier and nlcst-emoji-modifier) that start a sentence and then moves them into the previous sentence.

When should I use this?

This package is a tiny utility that helps when dealing with emoticons in natural language. It’s useful because many people place an emoticon or emoji, representing emotion related to the previous sentence, after a terminal marker. 😒

The plugin retext-emoji wraps this utility and others at a higher-level (easier) abstraction.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {affixEmoticonModifier} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {affixEmoticonModifier} from 'https://esm.sh/nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {affixEmoticonModifier} from 'nlcst-affix-emoticon-modifier'
import {emoticonModifier} from 'nlcst-emoticon-modifier'
import {ParseEnglish} from 'parse-english'
import {inspect} from 'unist-util-inspect'

const parser = new ParseEnglish()
parser.tokenizeSentencePlugins.unshift(emoticonModifier)
parser.tokenizeParagraphPlugins.unshift(affixEmoticonModifier)

console.log(inspect(parser.parse('Hey. :) How is it going?')))

Yields:
