• doesn't pollute the native javascript String object
• usable in browser or with nodejs
• made with browserify
• build with grunt
• unit tested with tape and saucelabs
• simple examples provided in the examples folder
• api doc made with jsdoc see doc

Why another lib

I know there are already a gazillion of open source javascript libraries out there, so why another one again ?

Because I want these :

• decoupled in small components
• simple, limited to what I found useful (purely subjective)
• standalone when possible
• usable in browsers and nodejs
• choice of my own naming, knowledge of internals ...

And I wanted to play and learn with some toys too like build system, testing, ci, npm ...

How to start

In browser

1. In your html page include the javascript :

    <script type="text/javascript" src="../build/ju/string.min.js"></script>
   

2. You're ready, start using with for example :

    ju.string.trim('   my value    ');
   

In nodejs

1. Install with npm

    npm install ju-string
   

2. Use it in your code

    var s = require('ju-string');
    s.trim('   my value    ');
