literalz

Extract embedded literals

Embedded literals:

• May be a mix of single- and double-quoted
• May contain backslash-escaped delimiter

Usage

var Literalz = require('literalz');
var x = new Literalz('He said, "She said." You said, \'\\\'nuf said.\'');
console.log(x.original); // He said, "She said." You said, '\'nuf said.'
console.log(x.replace(/said/g, 'cried').inject()); // He cried, "She said." You cried, '\'nuf said.'

After the above, console.log(x) produces this:

Literalz
  extract: "He cried, "" You cried, ''"
  extractions: ["She said.", "\'nuf said."]
  original: "He said, "She said." You said, '\'nuf said.'"
  __proto__:
    inject: ƒ ()
    replace: ƒ (a, b)
    constructor: ƒ Literalz(s)
