Split parsed rss results

I'm working on a project to parse RSS feeds from several sites into an aggregated job board, using rss-parser

The feeds use different formats for title, and as such the parsed JSON has differing formats too. See sample of three different formats below.

title: Roundtrip: Senior Product Designer
title: Frontend Developer
title: Unreal is looking for a Product Designer

What I'm looking to do is to unify the title / company format

Currently they're merged to an array in the state using

this.setState(prevState => ({
      data: this.state.data.concat(feed.items)
    }));

But this puts me in the position where the differing title formats become very apparent.

How would I go about splitting those strings and then merging them to a combined array?

You could run a map over the items to get a new array with title and company keys.

let items = [{title:'Roundtrip: Senior Product Designer'},{title:'Frontend Developer'},{title:'Unreal is looking for a Product Designer'}]

console.log(items.map(item => {
const colonSeperated = item.title.split(':')
const phraseSeperated = item.title.split('is looking for ')
  if(colonSeperated.length == 2){
   return ({
     company:colonSeperated[0],
     title: colonSeperated[1].trim(' ')
   })
   }
 else if(phraseSeperated.length ==2){
    const phraseSeperatedTitle = 
       phraseSeperated[1].startsWith('an')? 
       phraseSeperated[1].substr(2):phraseSeperated[1].substr(1)
   return({
    company:phraseSeperated[0].trim(' '),
    title: phraseSeperatedTitle.trim(' ')
  })
}
else {
  return ({
    company:null,
    title:item.title 

   })
  }
  }
))
