Censoring everything except the first and last char

[buckydroid]

Let's say the word is fook,

I wanna censor it to f**k not ****.

Is it possible through this?

I mean if not is there any way to get the filtered word. So I can replace that substring manually in javascript?

You can pass custom replaceRegex and placeHolder arguments to the constructor to get the desired result. Here is your solution

import Filter from "bad-words";

const replaceRegex = /(?<=.).+(?=.)/
const placeHolder = (str)=>("*".repeat(str.length))

var filter = new Filter({replaceRegex, placeHolder});

console.log(filter.clean("This is sh!t"))

output: This is s**t
