nan-banana

Organic banana, locally sourced from NaN.

const banana = require("nan-banana");

banana();
// "banana"

Why

Because JavaScript can do this:

("b" + "a" + + "a" + "a").toLowerCase();
// "banana"

+"a" is NaN.

"ba" + NaN + "a" is "baNaNa".

.toLowerCase() completes the harvest.

The expression belongs to JavaScript folklore and was crystallized for many developers by Gary Bernhardt's WAT talk.

Install

Usage

const banana = require("nan-banana");
