lastIndexOf

Instance method on String.prototype.

Returns the last occurrence of a substring in the string, or -1 if it is not present.

lastIndexOf(input: { string: <receiver>; searchString: string; position?: number; prompt?: string }): Promise<number>

The prompt field is optional. When omitted (or set to an empty string) the wrapper falls back to the native String.prototype.lastIndexOf and returns a resolved Promise without contacting the LLM. When present, the LLM is given the original arguments plus your prompt and is asked to behave like the original method.

import { configureClient, neuro } from 'neuro-ts';
configureClient({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
// Right-anchored search; empty-search-string is always true, again, in case anyone forgot.
await neuro.string.lastIndexOf({ string: hay, searchString: needle, position: hay.length, prompt: 'return the highest index where searchString starts at or before position, or -1, with empty-search-string still magically true at every cursor' });

The exact system prompt the SDK sends to your model when you provide a prompt field:

Generated promptString.prototype.lastIndexOf
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `String.prototype.lastIndexOf`.
## Original signature(s)
  Overload 1: (searchString: string, position?: number) => number
## JSDoc
Returns the last occurrence of a substring in the string, or -1 if it is not present.

## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `lastIndexOf` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.
