sentences()

sentences() → { collection of sentences }

This API returns a collection of sentences in the winkNLP document. If the input text contains one sentence, then we get a collection of sentences with a single member. Likewise, if no sentence-break is found in the input text, we get the output in the same manner!

You can chain it further with other winkNLP APIs like each(), length(), filter(), etc. However, to get the output in a JavaScript data type, you need to follow this API with out().

Example:

const text = 'AI Inc. is focussing on AI. I work for AI Inc. My mail is r2d2@yahoo.com! The U.S.A is my birth place. I was born on 06.12.1996. I climbed Mt. Everest.';
const doc = nlp.readDoc( text );
const sentences = doc.sentences().out();
console.log( sentences );
// -> [ 'AI Inc. is focussing on AI.',
//      'I work for AI Inc.',
//      'My mail is r2d2@yahoo.com!',
//      'U.S.A is my birth place.',
//      'I was born on 06.12.1996.',
//      'I climbed Mt. Everest.' ]

// Tweet
const text = '3rd TIME watching That70sShow:D @Netflix http://tiny.cc/fijqkz';
const doc = nlp.readDoc( text );
console.log( doc.sentences().out() );
// -> [ '3rd TIME watching That70sShow:D @Netflix http://tiny.cc/fijqkz' ]

// Single sentence
const text = 'Mr. Z owns AI Inc. and he climbed Mt. Everest.';
const doc = nlp.readDoc( text );
console.log( doc.sentences().out() );
// -> [ 'Mr. Z owns AI Inc. and he climbed Mt. Everest.' ]
