elasticlunr.trimmer is a pipeline function for trimming non word
characters from the begining and end of tokens before they
enter the index.

This implementation may not work correctly for non latin
characters and should either be removed or adapted for use
with languages with non-latin characters.

elasticlunr.trimmer = function (token) {
  if (token === null || token === undefined) {
    throw new Error('token should not be undefined');
  }

  return token
    .replace(/^\W+/, '')
    .replace(/\W+$/, '');
};

elasticlunr.Pipeline.registerFunction(elasticlunr.trimmer, 'trimmer');
