js-romanian-diacritics

Functions for converting Romanian diacritics from a text (converting characters - standard to traditional or traditional to standard, remove diacritics marks)

Usage

Standard/official diacritics

The standard function takes a string as an argument and replaces all of its traditional/incorrect Romanian diacritics with their corresponding standard/official counterpart.

const diacritics = require("js-romanian-diacritics");
diacritics.standard("Aştept să vinã colegii de muncã.");
  // Output: Aștept să vină colegii de muncă.

Traditional/incorrect diacritics

The traditional function takes a string as an argument and replaces all of its standard/official Romanian diacritics with their corresponding traditional/incorrect counterpart.

const diacritics = require("js-romanian-diacritics");
diacritics.traditional("Aștept să vină colegii de muncă.");
  // Output: Aştept să vinã colegii de muncã.

Without diacritics

The without function takes a string as an argument and replaces all the Romanian diacritics (the official character set, as well as incorrect representations of them) with their accentless counterpart.

const diacritics = require("js-romanian-diacritics");
diacritics.without("Aştept să vină colegii de muncă.");
  // Output: Astept sa vina colegii de munca.

Character set
