String2

Provide bindings to JS string. Optimized for pipe-first.

t

RESCRIPT
type t = string

make

RESCRIPT
let make: 'a => t

make(value) converts the given value to a string.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.make(3.5) == "3.5" Js.String2.make([1, 2, 3]) == "1,2,3"

fromCharCode

RESCRIPT
let fromCharCode: int => t

fromCharCode(n) creates a string containing the character corresponding to that number; n ranges from 0 to 65535.If out of range, the lower 16 bits of the value are used. Thus, fromCharCode(0x1F63A) gives the same result as fromCharCode(0xF63A).

See String.fromCharCode on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.fromCharCode(65) == "A" Js.String2.fromCharCode(0x3c8) == `ψ` Js.String2.fromCharCode(0xd55c) == `한` Js.String2.fromCharCode(-64568) == `ψ`

fromCharCodeMany

RESCRIPT
let fromCharCodeMany: array<int> => t

fromCharCodeMany([n1, n2, n3]) creates a string from the characters corresponding to the given numbers, using the same rules as fromCharCode.

See String.fromCharCode on MDN.

fromCodePoint

RESCRIPT
let fromCodePoint: int => t

fromCodePoint(n) creates a string containing the character corresponding to that numeric code point. If the number is not a valid code point, it raises RangeError. Thus, fromCodePoint(0x1F63A) will produce a correct value, unlike fromCharCode(0x1F63A), and fromCodePoint(-5) will raise a RangeError.

See String.fromCodePoint on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.fromCodePoint(65) == "A" Js.String2.fromCodePoint(0x3c8) == `ψ` Js.String2.fromCodePoint(0xd55c) == `한` Js.String2.fromCodePoint(0x1f63a) == `😺`

fromCodePointMany

RESCRIPT
let fromCodePointMany: array<int> => t

fromCodePointMany([n1, n2, n3]) creates a string from the characters corresponding to the given code point numbers, using the same rules as fromCodePoint.

See String.fromCodePoint on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.fromCodePointMany([0xd55c, 0xae00, 0x1f63a]) == `한글😺`

length

RESCRIPT
let length: t => int

length(s) returns the length of the given string.

See String.length on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.length("abcd") == 4

get

RESCRIPT
let get: (t, int) => t

get(s, n) returns as a string the character at the given index number. If n is out of range, this function returns undefined,so at some point this function may be modified to return option<string>.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.get("Reason", 0) == "R" Js.String2.get("Reason", 4) == "o" Js.String2.get(`Rẽasöń`, 5) == `ń`

charAt

RESCRIPT
let charAt: (t, int) => t

charAt(s, n) gets the character at index n within string s. If n is negative or greater than the length of s, it returns the empty string. If the string contains characters outside the range \u0000-\uffff, it will return the first 16-bit value at that position in the string.

See String.charAt on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.charAt("Reason", 0) == "R" Js.String2.charAt("Reason", 12) == "" Js.String2.charAt(`Rẽasöń`, 5) == `ń`

charCodeAt

RESCRIPT
let charCodeAt: (t, int) => float

charCodeAt(s, n) returns the character code at position n in string s; the result is in the range 0-65535, unlke codePointAt, so it will not work correctly for characters with code points greater than or equal to 0x10000. The return type is float because this function returns NaN if n is less than zero or greater than the length of the string.

See String.charCodeAt on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.charCodeAt(`😺`, 0) == 0xd83d->Belt.Int.toFloat Js.String2.codePointAt(`😺`, 0) == Some(0x1f63a)

codePointAt

RESCRIPT
let codePointAt: (t, int) => option<int>

codePointAt(s, n) returns the code point at position n within string s as a Some(value). The return value handles code points greater than or equal to 0x10000. If there is no code point at the given position, the function returns None.

See String.codePointAt on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.codePointAt(`¿😺?`, 1) == Some(0x1f63a) Js.String2.codePointAt("abc", 5) == None

concat

RESCRIPT
let concat: (t, t) => t

concat(original, append) returns a new string with append added after original.

See String.concat on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.concat("cow", "bell") == "cowbell"

concatMany

RESCRIPT
let concatMany: (t, array<t>) => t

concatMany(original, arr) returns a new string consisting of each item of an array of strings added to the original string.

See String.concat on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.concatMany("1st", ["2nd", "3rd", "4th"]) == "1st2nd3rd4th"

endsWith

RESCRIPT
let endsWith: (t, t) => bool

endsWithFrom

RESCRIPT
let endsWithFrom: (t, t, int) => bool

endsWithFrom(str, ending, len) returns true if the first len characters of str end with ending, false otherwise. If len is greater than or equal to the length of str, then it works like endsWith. (Honestly, this should have been named endsWithAt, but oh well).

See String.endsWith on MDN.

Examples

RESCRIPT
Js.String2.endsWithFrom("abcd", "cd", 4) == true Js.String2.endsWithFrom("abcde", "cd", 3) == false Js.String2.endsWithFrom("abcde", "cde", 99) == true Js.String2.endsWithFrom("example.dat", "ple", 7) == true

includes

RESCRIPT

let match_: (t, Js_re.t) => option<array<option<t>>>

match(str, regexp) matches a string against the given regexp. If there is no match, it returns None. For regular expressions without the g modifier, if there is a match, the return value is Some(array) where the array contains:

Js.String2.anchor("Page One", "page1") == "<a name="page1">Page One</a>"
RESCRIPT
let link: (t, t) => t

ES2015: link(linkText, urlText) creates a string with an HTML <a> element with href attribute of urlText and linkText as its content. Please do not use this method, as it has been removed from the relevant web standards. See String.link on MDN.
