<script src="quran-meta.js"></script>
Also modern browsers allow
<script type="module">
import quranMeta from "quran-meta.esm.js"
</script>
The library is available from various CDNs
$ npm i --save quran-meta
In Node.js see example here:
var quranMeta = require("quran-meta")
console.log(" Assalam Aleykum! ") // => 'Assalam Aleykum!'
console.log(`There are ${quranMeta.meta.numSurahs} suras in the Holy Quran`) // => 'There are 114 suras in the Holy Quran'
In the browser/ES:
import { meta } from "quran-meta"
console.log("Assalam Aleykum!")
console.log(`There are ${meta.numSurahs} suras in the Holy Quran`) // => 'There are 114 suras in the Holy Quran'
In TypeScript:
import { meta, getAyahCountinSurah, AyahNo, Surah } from "quran-meta"
console.log(`There are ${meta.numSurahs} suras in the Holy Quran`)
for (let surah: Surah = 1; surah <= meta.numSurahs; surah++) {
const ayaCount = getAyahCountinSurah(surah)
console.log(surah, ': ',ayaCount)
}
Surah: A chapter of the Quran. There are 114 chapters in Quran, each of different length.
Ayah: A verse number in the particular surah (chapter) of Quran. it is relative to the surah.
AyahId: Unique identifier for a verse in the Quran. It is a number that is the concatenation of the of sum ayahs of previous chapters of Quran and the verse number of particular Ayah. There are 6236 ayahs in Quran. AyahId is absolute, positive and is not relative to any surah.
