morae v2.0.1

Morae

A tool for extracting haikus from English text.

Installation

npm install morae

Usage

Because Morae utilizes The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, it is loaded asynchronously and provides availability to an instance of the class in a callback.

var Morae = require('morae');

Morae(m => {
  // 'm' is the instance
});

Provide a string of text and get an array of haikus back. Bear in mind that most of them will be total shit, but that's just how it goes.

var Morae = require('morae');
var txt = 'Thick blanket of snow snuggling the flowerbeds with a winter wrap.';

Morae(m => {
  console.log(m.extract(txt));
});

Output:

[{
  one: 'Thick blanket of snow',
  two: 'snuggling the flowerbeds',
  three: 'with a winter wrap.'
}]

More simply, Morae can be used to count syllables in blocks of text.

Morae(m => {
  console.log(m.count('snuggling the flowerbeds')); // 6
  console.log(m.count('<h1>Chapter One</h1> <p>I was born in New Orleans.</p>'); // 10
  console.log(m.count('and   \r\n then \t\t the \t\n boat   \rsank'); // 5
});

Tests

Run tests with npm test.
