Profanity Filter Library

A versatile library for filtering out profanity words in various languages. This library helps in cleaning up text by detecting and replacing inappropriate words based on configurable language codes.

Features

• Multilingual Support: Includes profanity lists for multiple languages.
• Customizable: Easy to extend with additional languages and words.
• Flexible Filtering: Can be integrated into various applications to ensure clean and appropriate content.

Installation

To use the library, you can install it via npm:

npm install @tekdi/multilingual-profanity-filter

Usage

Basic Usage

1. Import the Library

   import { filterBadWords } from '@tekdi/multilingual-profanity-filter';

2. Filter Text

   Use the filterBadWords function to filter out profanity from a given text. You need to provide the text and the language code for filtering.

   const inputText = "I am so tired of these idiots. This is complete bullshit";
   const languageCode = "en"; // Use "en" for English
   
   const filteredText = filterBadWords(inputText, languageCode);
   
   console.log(filteredText);
   // Expected Output: "I am so tired of these i****. This is complete b****ts"

Supported Languages

Currently, the library supports the following languages:

• English (en)
• Hindi (hi)
• Marathi (mr)
• Tamil (ta)
• Gujarati (gu)
• Kannada (kn)

To add support for additional languages, you can extend the badWords.json file with the desired language's profanity list.

Configuration

To configure or add new languages, modify the badWords.json file located in the Badwords directory. The file should be structured as follows:

{
  "en": ["badword1", "badword2"],
  "hi": ["गाली1", "गाली2"],
  "mr": ["गालिच्या शब्द1", "गालिच्या शब्द2"],
  "ta": ["பொய்யான சொல்1", "பொய்யான சொல்2"],
  "gu": ["ગંદી શબ્દ1", "ગંદી શબ્દ2"],
  "kn": ["ಕಿಡಿ ಶಬ್ದ1", "ಕಿಡಿ ಶಬ್ದ2"]
}
