Library of reusable core interfaces, types and constants migrated from fps-library-v2

/**
 *
 *  get array of strings only (aka words) from the item proprty
 Original code:
 const keyVals: string[] = item[key].replace(/[0-9]/g, " ").split(/\b([a-z]+)\b/gi);
 *
 https://github.com/mikezimm/Compliance/issues/138
 *
 Test code:  resulting in ["test","i","ng","as","dfasd","asdf"]
  const item = 'test1234~321i~ng as?!_$dfasd. -++[asdf];?~!&^$%...,;'
  const keyVals = item.replace(/[0-9.,;:?~!&^$%+_[\]-]/g, " ").replace(/\s\s+/g, ' ').split(/\b([a-z]+)\b/gi).filter( v => v.trim() !== '' );
  console.log( keyVals )


 * getStringArrayBasic is a simpler variation of getArrayOfWordsFromString
 * This will use exact case and not filter duplicates .
 * Finally it does not do any sorting.
 *
 * You can use getArrayOfWordsFromString IF YOU NEED any of those advanced options.
 *
 * @param baseStr
 * @param removeDigits
 * @returns
