quote

Safe quoting a given string without adding duplicate quotes

Install using node or bower

npm install quote --save
bower install quote --save

Use

// node
var quote = require('quote');
quote('foo'); // "foo"
quote('"foo"'); // "foo"
quote(quote('foo')); // "foo"

In the browser just use global function quote

Changing quote character

Only single quote character is supported, default is double quotes ". To change:

var quote = require('quote')({ quotes: '*' });
quote('foo'); // *foo*
quote('bar'); // *bar*

For common markdown quote characters, use quote-markdown.

To build and test

Because this is both Node and browser package, you need to build it using universal module definition CLI tool.

npm run build
npm test
