AlphabetJS is a small tool to help you output big English character in console/shell or anyother platform.
Use npm
to install it
npm install alphabetjs --save
Then you can require it in node:
const Alphabet = require('alphabetjs');
Then you can use it to print character in shell:
const str = Alphabet('KOBE24','planar')
console.log(str);
And then you get:
|ˉ| /ˉ/ /ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ\ |ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ\ |ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ| /ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ\ /ˉˉˉ|
| | / / / /ˉˉˉˉˉˉ\ \| |ˉˉˉˉˉ\ | | |ˉˉˉˉˉˉˉˉ / /ˉˉˉˉˉˉ\ \ / /| |
