words

Splits a string into an array of words. It can recognize both ASCII and Unicode characters as words.

Signature

function words(str: string): string[];

Parameters

• str (string): The string to split into words.

Returns

(string[]): An array of words extracted from the string.

Examples

words('fred, barney, & pebbles');
// => ['fred', 'barney', 'pebbles']

words('camelCaseHTTPRequest🚀');
// => ['camel', 'Case', 'HTTP', 'Request', '🚀']

words('Lunedì 18 Set');
// => ['Lunedì', '18', 'Set']

Lodash Compatibility

To ensure full compatibility with lodash, you can import words from es-toolkit/compat.

• words also takes an optional second parameter, pattern, which allows you to define custom patterns for splitting the string.
• words will automatically convert the first argument to a string if it isn't one already.

import { words } from 'es-toolkit/compat';

words('fred, barney, & pebbles', /[^, ]+/g);
// Returns ['fred', 'barney', '&', 'pebbles']
