Package Exports

english-a-an
english-a-an/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (english-a-an) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

English a/an

Determines whether a sequence (noun or adjective) should start with a or an: an elephant, a European, an Irishman, an heir, etc.

It is based on a list of words that must be preceded by an: use english-a-an-list as that list.

Usage

getAAn will return either a or an based on:

a list custom of exceptions: map where the word is the key, and value has a aan key with either a or an as a value; in general put just null here
a list of words that must be preceded by an: use english-a-an-list
the word as a string

Case matters:

English => an English, while english will not be found
an AND makes sense, while a/an and doesn't

Installation

npm install english-a-an

Usage

const englishAAn = require('english-a-an');
const englishAAnList = require('english-a-an-list/dist/aan.json');

// an
console.log(englishAAn.getAAn(null, englishAAnList, 'English'));

// a
console.log(englishAAn.getAAn(null, englishAAnList, 'European'));
