Conjugation-FR

A Node.js module for fast conjugation of french verbs.

This package is based on the Verbiste database. It contains more than 7000 verbs.

Usage

Simple conjugation

Syntaxe: conjugationFR#conjugate(verb, mode, tense, fGender = false, forceAux) It supports pronominial forms. By default, gender is masculine. Set fGender to true to agree to feminine gender. For verbs with two auxiliary, you can specify which one with forceAux. Example:

const conjugationFR = require("conjugation-fr");
conjugationFR.conjugate("aller", "indicative", "perfect-tense");
// returns:
[
  { pronoun: 'je', pronounIndex: 0, verb: 'suis allé' },
  { pronoun: 'tu', pronounIndex: 1, verb: 'es allé' },
  { pronoun: 'il', pronounIndex: 2, verb: 'est allé' },
  { pronoun: 'nous', pronounIndex: 3, verb: 'sommes allé' },
  { pronoun: 'vous', pronounIndex: 4, verb: 'êtes allé' },
  { pronoun: 'ils', pronounIndex: 5, verb: 'sont allé' }
]

Find conjugation

Syntaxe: conjugationFR#findTense(verb, input) To parse a user input to know which tense and mode are used, a findTense function is available and returns the same array as the conjugate function. For instance, all the lines below returns the verb "aller" conjugate with the indicative perfect tense:

conjugationFR.findTense("aller", "indicative perfect-tense");
conjugationFR.findTense("aller", "perfect-tense");
conjugationFR.findTense("aller", "passé-composé indicatif");
conjugationFR.findTense("aller", "passé composé");

If there is no mode specified, indicative mode will be used by default.
