Lib to support Kanji-only furigana string extractions. Created as a collaboration for Furigana Chrome Extension.

Usage

Install lib:

npm install @tmilar/furigana-helper

Then, import it

const { combineOriginalAndKana } = require("@tmilar/furigana-helper")

const combined = combineOriginalAndKana("送り仮名", "おくりがな")
// =>  [
//       ["送", "おく"],
//       ["り", "り"],
//       ["仮名", "がな"],
//     ]

API

combineOriginalAndKana(original, kana)

Given an input of an arbitrary japanese string, and the corresponding -kana string, return an array of the combinations of original kanji + kana, and the original kana kept unmodified.

For example:

const original = "送り仮名"
const kana = "おくりがな"

combineOriginalAndKana(original, kana)
// =>  [
//       ["送", "おく"],
//       ["り", "り"],
//       ["仮名", "がな"],
//     ]

Katakana input is not modified:

const original = "ケーソン工法"
const kana = "けえそん こうほう"

combineOriginalAndKana(original, kana)
// =>  [
//       ["ケーソン", "ケーソン"],
//       ["工法", "こうほう"],
//     ]
