An ad-hoc datastore for compromise
npm install compromise-payload
This plugin provides a facilty for storing a retreiving more complex data than tags, for compromise documents and matches.
### Payload
```js
import plg from 'compromise-payload'
nlp.extend(plg)
let doc = nlp('i saw John Lennon in Manchester, and Bob Dylan in Southhampton')
// markup metadata
doc.match('(john lennon|bob dylan)').addPayload({ instrument: 'guitar' })
// add more
doc.people().forEach(m => {
if (m.has('lennon')) {
m.addPayload({ height: `5'11` })
}
if (m.has('ringo')) {
m.addPayload({ height: `5'8` })
}
})
// retrieve specific payloads
doc.match('john lennon').getPayloads()
doc.match('bob dylabn').getPayloads()
// retrieve them all
doc.getPayloads()
// inspect given payloads:
doc.debug('payload')
```
You can also pass a callback into `.addPayload()`:
```js
let doc = nlp('i saw John Lennon, and john smith and bob dylan')
doc.people().addPayload(m => {
return { lastName: m.terms().last().text() }
})
```
You can remove all, or selected payloads with `.clearPayload()`:
```js
doc.match('bob .').clearPayloads()
doc.getPayloads().length // now 2
doc.clearPayloads()
doc.getPayloads().length // now 0
```
