### words
|
|
|
|
Converts a given string into an array of words.
|
|
|
|
Use `String.split()` with a supplied pattern (defaults to non-alpha as a regex) to convert to an array of strings. Use `Array.filter()` to remove any empty strings.
|
|
Omit the second argument to use the default regex.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const words = (str, pattern = /[^a-zA-Z-]+/) => str.split(pattern).filter(Boolean);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
words("I love javaScript!!") // ["I", "love", "javaScript"]
|
|
words("python, javaScript & coffee") // ["python", "javaScript", "coffee"]
|
|
```
