catena

Turn a pile of files into a searchable corpus: chunking, scrubbing, subtitles and rank fusion, as WebAssembly.

npm install catena
import { chunkMarkdown, scrub, countTokens, fuseHits } from "catena";

const chunks = chunkMarkdown(markdown, 512, 64);
chunks[0].page;      // 41
chunks[0].chapter;   // 'III. The Second Estate'

const clean = scrub(rawMarkdown, true);
countTokens(clean);

fuseHits([...vectorHits, ...textHits], undefined, { vec: 2 }, 20);

Records come back as plain objects — the same documents the command-line tools write, with the same field names and the same stability promise. Nothing has to be freed.

splitCollection throws when the document is one work rather than a collection, which is the usual answer:

let works;
try {
  works = splitCollection(markdown);
} catch (why) {
  works = [{ idx: 0, title, text: markdown }];
}

What is here

chunkMarkdown Markdown into passages that carry their page, chapter and role
scrub Converted markdown in, clean markdown out
countTokens Tokens, by the encoding the budgets count in
parseSubtitles SubRip, WebVTT or ASS into cues
packCues Cues into passages, keeping the times they were said at
segmentCues A timed transcript into topic chapters
splitCollection One markdown file into the works inside it
fuseHits Several ranked lists into one
identify What a file is, from its first bytes
seriesOf The series a book belongs to, and which volume this is
parseIdentifier A DOI, ISSN, ISBN or arXiv id, read and checked

The tools that read files or call another program are not here: a browser has neither, and a binding that pretends otherwise fails at run time rather than at compile time. Those stay command-line tools.

Node and the web

import { chunkMarkdown } from "catena";        // resolves per environment
import { chunkMarkdown } from "catena/node";   // or pick one
import { chunkMarkdown } from "catena/web";

Two builds because the loaders differ: node reads the .wasm off disk at import, the web build takes a URL a bundler rewrites.
