Go's strings.LastIndex in JavaScript

How to use

You you can install via yarn add locutus and require this function via const LastIndex = require('locutus/golang/strings/LastIndex').

It is important to use a bundler that supports tree-shaking so that you only ship the functions that you actually use to your browser, instead of all of Locutus, which is massive. Examples are: Parcel, webpack, or rollup.js. For server-side use this is typically less of a concern.

Examples

Please note that these examples are distilled from test cases that automatically verify our functions still work correctly. This could explain some quirky ones.

#codeexpected result
1LastIndex('go gopher', 'go')3
2LastIndex('go gopher', 'rodent')-1

Here’s what our current JavaScript equivalent to Go's strings.LastIndex looks like.

module.exports = function LastIndex(s, sep) {
// discuss at: https://locutus.io/golang/strings/LastIndex
// original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (https://kvz.io)
// input by: GopherJS (https://www.gopherjs.org/)
// example 1: LastIndex('go gopher', 'go')
// returns 1: 3
// example 2: LastIndex('go gopher', 'rodent')
// returns 2: -1

return parseInt(s.lastIndexOf(sep), 10) >> 0
}

A community effort

Not unlike Wikipedia, Locutus is an ongoing community effort. Our philosophy follows The McDonald’s Theory. This means that we assimilate first iterations with imperfections, hoping for others to take issue with-and improve them. This unorthodox approach has worked very well to foster fun and fruitful collaboration, but please be reminded to use our creations at your own risk. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" has never been more true than for Locutus.

Ehm.. only 4 Go functions?

We can use your help porting more. Have a rainy Sunday afternoon to spare and a taste for a porting puzzle?

We will then review it. If it's useful to the project and in line with our contributing guidelines your work will become part of Locutus and you'll be automatically credited in the authors section accordingly.
