custom-translate

custom-translate

custom-translate is a simple module for translating certain words or letters in a string with other words or letters you provide. Usage is simple:

wordTrans

const translator = require('custom-translate');

const text = 'I have a cow that goes moo.';
const dictionary = {
	"cow": "cat",
	"moo": "meow"
};

translator.wordTrans(text, dictionary);

Output will be: I have a cat that goes meow.

wordTrans automatically ignores casing, all instances of the word, regardless of case, will be replaced.

letterTrans

const translator = require('custom-translate');

const text = 'I like cheese.';
const dictionary = {
	"c": "!",
	"I": "S"
};

translator.letterTrans(text, dictionary);

Output will be: S like !heese

Unlike wordTrans, letterTrans does not ignore casing by default.

When using letterTrans, you can also optionally specify what to join the string back together with. This defaults to ''.

translator.letterTrans(text, dictionary, ' ');
