JSPM – srt-parser-2@1.2.3

Package Exports

srt-parser-2
srt-parser-2/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (srt-parser-2) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Why?

Why this one special? There are plently SRT parser on npm:

What's wrong with them?

Nothing wrong.
All of them can handle this format:

1
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:12,682
Hello

But I want to handle format like these:

00:00:11.544

This is wrong format, it use period as separator

Or this:

00:00:11,5440

This is also wrong format, millisecond has 4 digit (should be 3)

Or this:

1:00:11,5

Similiar, hour & millisecond is only 1 digit (wrong)

Or this

00:00:00.05

etc

Format Support

Format	Other parser	srt-parser-2	srt-parser-2 would turn this into
00:00:01,544	Yes ✅	Yes ✅	00:00:01,544
00:00:01.544	❓ Yes for some of them	Yes ✅	00:00:01,544
00:00:01.54	❓ Yes for some of them	Yes ✅	00:00:01,544
00:00:00.3333	No ❌	Yes ✅	00:00:00,333
00:00:00.3	No ❌	Yes ✅	00:00:00,300
1:2:3.4	No ❌	Yes ✅	01:02:03,400

Basic principle:

If hour,minute,second is shorter than 2 digit, pad start with "0", if longer than 2 digit, only save first 2 digit.
Millisecond is the same, but it's 3 digit.
Seperator can be .(periods) or ,(comma), periods(incorrect) will be replace with comma(correct)

Conclusion

Support more time format (even wrong format)
Have extensive test
