Kanji

With Kanji you can:

• Get kanji characters in an array based on categorization.
• Get kanji composition tree.

Usage

Kanji collections

const kanji = require('kanji');

// Kanji Kentei
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv10);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv09);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv08);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv07);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv06);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv05);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv04);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv03);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv02pre);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv02);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv01pre);
console.log(kanji.kanken.lv01);

// Old JLPT
console.log(kanji.jlpt.old4);
console.log(kanji.jlpt.old3);
console.log(kanji.jlpt.old2);
console.log(kanji.jlpt.old1);

// New JLPT
console.log(kanji.jlpt.n5);
console.log(kanji.jlpt.n4);
console.log(kanji.jlpt.n3);
console.log(kanji.jlpt.n2);
console.log(kanji.jlpt.n1);

// Kyouiku Kanji
console.log(kanji.grade.g01);
console.log(kanji.grade.g02);
console.log(kanji.grade.g03);
console.log(kanji.grade.g04);
console.log(kanji.grade.g05);
console.log(kanji.grade.g06);
console.log(kanji.grade.g08); // Remaining of Joyo Kanji
console.log(kanji.grade.g09); // Jinmeiyo Kanji
console.log(kanji.grade.g10); // Variant of Joyo Kanji

// Frequency 1-2501 Kanji taken from KANJIDIC
// The frequency list is made by Alexandre Girardi
console.log(kanji.freq);

// 13,108 kanji from KANJIDIC (JIS X 0208-1998, JIS X 0212-1990, JIS X 0213-2012)
console.log(kanji.all);

The kanji characters in the frequency list array are ordered from most popular to least popular. The rest of arrays are not ordered.

Kanji composition tree

const kanji = require('kanji');

console.log(kanji.kanjiTree('国'));

/* Result:
{
    element: "国",
    g: [{ element: "囗" },
    {
        element: "玉",
        g: [
            { element: "王" },
            { element: "丶" }
        ]
    },
    { element: "囗" }
    ]
} */

Everytime you call kanjiTree, it reads the tree json in lib folder. If you call the same character frequently, please use memoization techniques to reduce file read.
