The term dark pattern was originally coined by Harry Brignull in 2010. He defined it as:
a user interface that has been carefully crafted to trick users into doing things, such as buying insurance with their purchase or signing up for recurring bills
Very often we don't realize it, but while using websites or apps, our choices and actions are influenced by dark patterns, which are reusable design patterns that somehow cause the user to make choices he or she would not normally make.
This algorithm is used to identify instances of the dark pattern trick question within web pages.
- NodeJS v16.x
import { isTrickQuestion, getSentencesFromHtmlPage } from 'trick-question-detection';
const sentences = getSentencesFromHtmlPage('https:/www.google.com');
sentences.forEach((s) => {
console.log('Sentence:', s + ' | Score: ' + isTrickQuestion(s));
