gameface-arabic-rtl2 v0.1.4

gameface-arabic-rtl2

This is a helper function for Arabic language support in Coherent Gameface. Since it does not support Arabic out of the box at the moment.

Installation

npm i gameface-arabic-rtl2

Example

Without gameface-arabic-rtl

With gameface-arabic-rtl

Dependencies

I use Abdulla Saeed's code. But had to manually rewrite it for ES5 due to the fact that on some platforms for the babel-loader, conversion to ES5 for node_modules is disabled.

Usage

gameface-arabic-rtl is declared as a Universal Module (UMD), meaning it can be used with all conventional Javascript module systems:

ES6

import { process } from 'gameface-arabic-rtl';

const text = 'مرحبا بالعالم';
const translateNumbers = true;
const convertedText = process(text, translateNumbers);

CommonJS

const GamefaceArabicRtl = require('gameface-arabic-rtl/dist/gameface-arabic-rtl.min.js');

const text = 'مرحبا بالعالم';
const translateNumbers = true;
const convertedText = process(text, translateNumbers);

RequireJS

require(['GamefaceArabicRtl'], (GamefaceArabicRtl) => {
    const text = 'مرحبا بالعالم';
    const translateNumbers = true;
    const convertedText = process(text, translateNumbers);
});

HTML5 <script> tag

<script src="gameface-arabic-rtl.min.js"></script>
<script>
    const text = 'مرحبا بالعالم';
    const translateNumbers = true;
    const convertedText = process(text, translateNumbers);
</script>

Known issues

Since Coherent Gameface does not support OpenType GSUB Table lookup, the required glyphs must be present in the font. For example:

'ﺖ'.codePointAt(0); // must NOT return undefined

Script was tested on Tahoma font.
