# volume-string-parser

![npm badge](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/volume-string-parse)

Turn serials issue/volume strings like 'v.1 no.3 Aut 1979' into meaningful data that could be used for sorting or other nefarious deeds.

```js

// node example

const parse = require('volume-string-parse')

const string = 'v.1 no.3 Aut 1979'

const data = parse(string)

console.log(data)

// data is

// { issue: '3',

//  original_string: 'v.1 no.3 Aut 1979',

//  volume: '1',

//  year: '1979' }

```

Ultimately, my goal is to have the module work in the browser.

# notes

Doesn't parse season/month information right now (e.g. "Aut" in example above). That seems really hairy, plus not necessary in many cases (redundant with issue number), but may be added eventually.

Returns `null` if a data field isn't present in the original string or wasn't parsed.
