BanglaScript Transpiler

BanglaScript is a beginner-friendly toy programming language that translates Bangladeshi GEZ-Z slang into JavaScript.

Features

• BanglaScript keywords for familiar and intuitive programming.
• Transpiles BanglaScript code into executable JavaScript code.
• Easy installation and usage via npm.
• Optional syntax highlighting support in VS Code.

Installation

To install BanglaScript globally from npm, run the following command:

npm install -g banglascript-transpiler

This will make the banglascript CLI tool available globally on your system.

Usage

Setting Up BanglaScript in Your Project

1. Create a BanglaScript file with the .bns extension (e.g., input.bns).

2. Use the banglascript command to transpile the BanglaScript code into JavaScript:

   banglascript input.bns output.js

3. Run the transpiled JavaScript file using Node.js:

   node output.js

Example Code

Here is a sample BanglaScript program saved as input.bns:

bro taka = 100;
funde discount(taka) {
  jodi (taka > 500) {
    bolchi("Boro taka:", taka - 50);
  } naile {
    bolchi("Chhoto taka:", taka - 10);
  }
  oi mama taka;
}

discount(taka);

arre bhai {
  bar-bar (bro i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    bolchi(`Loop e ase: ${i}`);
  }
} bujhso na (err) {
  katlay porbi("Error:", err);
} jhamela shesh {
  bolchi("Shob thik ache");
}

Transpile and execute the file:

banglascript input.bns output.js
node output.js

Output:

Chhoto taka: 90
Loop e ase: 0
Loop e ase: 1
Loop e ase: 2
Loop e ase: 3
Loop e ase: 4
Shob thik ache
