var expandContractions = require( '@stdlib/nlp-expand-contractions' );Expands all contractions to their formal equivalents.
var str = 'I won\'t be able to get y\'all out of this one.';
var out = expandContractions( str );
// returns 'I will not be able to get you all out of this one.'- This expansion is done via a simple table look-up. Hence, it will not correctly replace contractions for which there are multiple possible expansions such as
"She'd", which can be expanded to both"She would"or"She had". In such cases, the package expands to a chosen default, in the given example"She would". Should you desire higher accuracy, consider using a fully-fledged NLP disambiguation algorithm for English contractions.
var expandContractions = require( '@stdlib/nlp-expand-contractions' );
var str = 'I won\'t be able to, sorry.';
var out = expandContractions( str );
