Adding your whitelist

Whitelisting is an action of adding list of strings or words that should be included or caused not to be blacklisted in a given string/sentence.

Syntax

whitelist(blacklist: string[], ...args: string[]): string[]

blacklist: string[] - Blacklist

...args: string[] - Given strings/words to be whitelisted.

string[] - The resulting blacklist that has been filtered to include whitelisted words and to only have unique items.

Throws an error if the required parameters are not given to the function.

import { whitelist } from '@princedev/redact';

Basic usage with a blacklist.

const sampleBlacklist = blacklist('negro', 'nigga', 'black');
const racialBlacklist = whitelist(sampleBlacklist, 'black');

racialBlacklist would be ['negro', 'nigga'].

Adding multiple given words with duplicates.

const sampleBlacklist = ['negro', 'nigga', 'negro', 'black', 'eskimo'];
const racialBlacklist = whitelist(sampleBlacklist, 'black', 'eskimo');

racialBlacklist would be ['negro', 'nigga'], also removing the duplicate item 'negro' in the list.

That would also work if you are whitelisting an item that has a duplicate.

const sampleBlacklist = ['negro', 'nigga', 'negro', 'black', 'eskimo'];
const racialBlacklist = whitelist(sampleBlacklist, 'black', 'negro');

racialBlacklist would be ['nigga', 'eskimo'], also removing the duplicate item 'negro' in the list.
