Package Exports

latinize

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 (latinize) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Simple library to convert accents (diacritics) from strings to latin characters.

npm install latinize

bower install latinize

Usage

node.js

var latinize = require('latinize');
latinize('ỆᶍǍᶆṔƚÉ áéíóúýčďěňřšťžů'); // => 'ExAmPlE aeiouycdenrstzu'

You can use the latinize.characters object to access the translation table or to change the mapping:

latinize.characters['Ω'] = 'O';

// modify the behavior for German umlauts
_.extend(latinize.characters,
  {'Ä': 'Ae', 'Ä': 'Ae', 'Ü': 'Ue', 'ä': 'ae', 'ö': 'oe', 'ü': 'ue'});
