translation-strings-to-ids.js

const readline = require('readline');
var ncp = require('copy-paste');

const inputMessage = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
});

// Promt to enter the string eg.
// This ain't your username, is it?
inputMessage.question('Enter raw message\n', answer => {
  // Converted all non alpha character to underscore
  let generatedId = answer.toLowerCase().replace(/[^A-Z0-9]+/gi, '_');

  // Removing last underscore if any
  if (generatedId.charAt(generatedId.length - 1) === '_') {
    generatedId = generatedId.substring(0, generatedId.length - 1);
  }

  // Removing first underscore if any
  if (generatedId.charAt(0) === '_') {
    generatedId = generatedId.substring(1);
  }

  // output eg.
  // this_ain_t_your_username_is_it
  console.log(generatedId);

  // Copy the converted string to clipboard
  ncp.copy(generatedId, function() {
    inputMessage.close();
    process.exit();
  });
