zh-cangjie v0.2.0

zh-cangjie

• Convert strings to/from cangjie chars (人弓火 -> ONF || ONF -> 人弓火)
• Convert chinese characters to/from cangjie (雨 -> 一中月卜 || MLBY -> 雨).

Created for zhdict.net

Usage

var cangjie = require('zh-cangjie');

// Convert alpha string into cangjie characters
cangjie.toCangjie("MGILG")
// "一土戈中土"

// Convert cangjie string into alpha
cangjie.fromCangjie("一土戈中土")
// "MGILG"

/*
 * From v0.2.0
 */
// Get the cangjie equivalent of a given character
let found = await cangjie.forCharacter('雨');
// - OR -
cangjie.forCharacter('雨').exec(function(err, found){
  console.log(found.alpha); // MLBY
  console.log(found.cangjie); // 一中月卜
});

// Search for characters based on cangjie string
// Sometimes this will return multiple characters
let found = await cangjie.findCharacters("MLBY");
// - OR -
cangjie.findCharacters("MLBY", function(err, found) {
  console.log(found);  // ['雨']
});

let found = await cangjie.findCharacters("一中月卜");
// - OR -
cangjie.findCharacters("一中月卜", function(err, found) {
  console.log(found);  // ['雨']
});

let found = await cangjie.findCharacter("YWLV");
// - OR -
cangjie.findCharacters("YWLV", function(err, found) {
  console.log(found);  // ['褱', '還']
});


// Search for characters whos cangjie equivalent begins with the given string
// This could be used, for example, in a character prediction widget for
// a soft cangjie keyboard
let found = await cangjie.findCharacters("一中");
cangjie.findCharacters("一中", function(err, found) {
  console.log(found);
  // [ '工', '更', '雨', '兩', '亞', '丌', '丏', '両', '丣', '帀', '㓚', '㧭', '厞', '覀' ]
});
