sanskrit-transcoder

Javascript port of the PHP/Python implementation of sanskrit transcoding by Jim Funderburk.

This module provides a single method to transcode a string to and from a number of transliteration schemes:

• itrans - Indian languages TRANSliteration (ITRANS)
• hk - Harvard-Kyoto (or Kyoto-Harvard)
• roman - Romanized Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST)
• deva - Devanagari (Unicode)
• wx - WX notation

Usage

npm install --save sanskrit-transcoder

Basic Example

const { transcodeSanskrit } = require('sanskrit-transcoder')
let transcoded
transcoded = transcodeSanskrit('jYAna', 'slp1', 'deva') // ज्ञान
transcoded = transcodeSanskrit('jYAna', 'slp1', 'roman') // jñāna
transcoded = transcodeSanskrit('jJAna', 'hk', 'slp1') // jYAna
transcoded = transcodeSanskrit('jJAna', 'hk', 'deva') // ज्ञान

API

transcodeSanskrit(sourceString, sourceScheme, targetScheme)

// destructured import
const { transcodeSanskrit } = require('sanskrit-transcoder')

• sourceString - the string to transcode which should be in the sourceScheme
• sourceScheme - the transcoding scheme that your sourceString is in.
• targetScheme - the transcoding scheme you want your output to be.

definitions (object)
