Split a string on the first occurrence of a given separator
This is similar to String#split(), but that one splits on all the occurrences, not just the first one.
npm install split-on-first
import splitOnFirst from 'split-on-first';
splitOnFirst('a-b-c', '-');
//=> ['a', 'b-c']
splitOnFirst('key:value:value2', ':');
//=> ['key', 'value:value2']
splitOnFirst('a---b---c', '---');
//=> ['a', 'b---c']
splitOnFirst('a-b-c', '+');
//=> []
splitOnFirst('abc', '');
//=> []
splitOnFirst('a,b.c', /[.,]/);
//=> ['a', 'b.c']
Type: string
The string to split.
Type: string | RegExp
