english-a-an

English a/an

Determines whether a sequence (word 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 or adjectives 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 of words or adjectives that must be preceded by an: use english-a-an-list
• the word or adjective 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');

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

// a
